We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Pacific Crest Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area that's good for kids and features nature.
What runners say about Pacific Crest Trail
“This National Scenic Trail runs 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada.”
A little slice of heaven in your backyard. This National Scenic Trail runs 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada. Get off your sofa a d get outside your mind and body will thank you.
Fun, a bit challenging (especially cuz my friends and I veered off the trail a bit 😬), will definitely be back. I recommend having good hiking boots, a good hat, and hiking sticks.
My favorite hiking trail! Lived on it for 151 days from Mexico to Canada.
It's very very long...be prepared with enough water....trail is narrow like 2 ft wide and bushes around need to be trimmed...wear pants or jeans for better hike....the view is amazing so worth it...I did it just till the view point cause I start late.
