Looking for 2027 PCT Thru-Hike Trail Partners! (Campo to Pasayten)
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a 2027 PCT northbound thru-hike from Campo to Pasayten, and I’m incredibly excited to be joined by my younger brother for this adventure!
A bit about us: we’re originally from Florida/Costa Rica, though I’m currently based out of Arizona. While a full thru-hike has been a lifelong dream, we are both relatively new hikers and are focusing heavily on preparation. Because we're still building our experience, we’re looking to find a group or a few like-minded people to start the trail with while we find our trail legs. We’re very easygoing and open to sticking together longer if the vibe is right!
I know it’s early since the 2026 class is currently out on the trek, but I wanted to get a head start on connecting with the 2027 community.
Our Current Plans:
- Direction/Scope: NOBO, Campo to Pasayten.
- Target Start: Early to Mid-April 2027 (pending the permit lottery and weather, of course).
- Pace/Style: Planning to pack light/ultralight, starting with conservative mileage to ease into it and prevent injury.
- Meetups: Since I'm in Arizona, I’m open to driving over to Southern California (or nearby) for a weekend shakedown hike or a meetup later this year to see if we're a good match for a trail family.
Excited to connect with anyone else eyeing a 2027 start to chat about gear, planning, or potentially forming a small-to-mid-sized group for the beginning of the trail.
Happy Trails and Pura Vida!
