PCT Pacific Crest Trail Episode 4 Julian to Paradise Valley Café
Pacific Crest Trail 2024 episode four hiking the PCT from Julian to Paradise Valley Café. Hiking in the Desert Snow Globe was crazy! In this video, you can see how quickly the weather can change on the PCT. After we made it to PV we got a ride back up to Idyllwild to take a zero and rest up before making the hike to San Jacinto.

This is my story of doing a long thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. It is and will be one of the greatest adventures of my life. In 2023 I hike 1170 miles of the PCT and in 2024 I am going to hit the trail again to start all over again. I am a 62-year-old thru-hiker trying to hike from Mexico to Canada on the PCT to fulfill a dream of a lifetime. Join me as I face absolutely everything that comes with hiking the PCT. From run-ins with bears, and snakes, summiting snowy passes, going through the desert, dealing with wildfires, making new trail friends and seeing some of the most beautiful places on Earth, and surviving yet thriving in these truly wild spaces. Join me for some Type 1 and Type 2 fun and hopefully not too much Type 3 fun. I hope you enjoy the video and my story inspires you to get outside!

Favorite PCT Videographer this year! Great mix of video and stills, music and naration and of course getting all the fun and people. What are you editing with?
What a great couple with a great story, thanks for sharing that
I am also following some hikers on the AT. I am familiar with east coast having spent 60 years there. I recently moved to the west coast (Seattle) and am loving seeing the videos of the West Coast.
The only desert section you did was a small bit of high Colorado desert just above Scissors Crossing. By the First Gate you're back in the chaparral habitat. Except for the grazed grassland at Eagle Rock area, all the rest of the trail to Paradise Valley Cafe is chaparral, too.
