Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail

Overview of the Pacific Crest Trail in California

The trail starts out as a desert trail at the California/Mexican border.  The Pacific Crest Treat leaves the desert and enters the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By this time the trail is in the High Sierra Nevada Mountains, and treks through the wildernesses in Sierra National Forest before exploring the remote glories of eastern Yosemite National Park.

After leaving Yosemite, the trail passes through another string of national forests and travels around Lake Tahoe. It climbs down and out of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and climbs into the Cascade Mountain Range at Lassen National Forest before leading into Lassen Volcanic National Park.
