2024 Halfway Anywhere Pacific Crest Trail Annual Survey Results
Thanks to an article from Backpacker, I perused the 2024 survey results from Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hikers compiled by Halfway Anywhere.
While the Backpacker article highlighted the average cost of the thru hike at north of $10,000, there is a treasure trove of data from this survey that is an invaluable resource in prepping for this 2,650 mile trek.
Everything from demographic data to hiker experience level and preparation to route selection to resupply to hitching to injuries and a whole lot more. And, of course, gear. Hint: Enlightened Equipment scored big with PCT Thru Hikers.
