About me

Introduction	I decided to create this page as a way for all of us to track Rory's progress along the trail and as well hear some updates about what he is encountering! The Pacific Crest Trail is a long-distance hiking trail that runs from the Mexican border of California, to the Northern border of Canada in Washington. At 2,650 miles long, the trail is a test of endurance both mentally and physically for any hiker, taking up to 5 or 6 months to complete. Rory has been an avid hiker and nature enthusiast since his early days in the Bay Area. In June 2009 he completed his certification as a Wilderness First Responder, a medical course focused on emergency situations that may arise in the wilderness. With the knowledge and experience he gained, he began looking towards completing a longer trek. The Pacific Crest Trail seemed ideal.
