Starting April 2012, Alasdair & Sarah Fowler are planning to walk the length of the United States, along the Pacific Crest Trail.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) is a treasured pathway through some of the most outstanding scenic terrain in the United States. Beginning in southern California at the Mexican border, the PCT travels a total distance of 2,650 miles through California, Oregon, and Washington until reaching the Canadian border.

It should take us just under 6 months to cover the 2650miles all being well. All self supported, with feet the only form of transport and a tent the main accommodation (I’m sure we won’t be able to resist the pull of a bed and shower in the resupply towns).

It starts off right on the border with Mexico in the deserts of Southern California. It crosses the edge of the Mohave desert, and several mountains ranges. Then 700 miles later it’s up into the altitude of the high Sierras. Highest point will be Mount Whitney (Highest summit in the contiguous United States) at 14,505 feet. This takes us to the top of California, where we cross into Oregon and the scenery changes again into Volcanic ranges, including the great crater lake and mount Shasta. The final state is then Washington with it’s Cascade Mountain range, and most likely lots of rain and maybe some snow!The trail ends just over the border in Canada.
