BookishMarginalia Wow! What exactly is a thru-hike? (edited) 7y
hike.read.repeat @BookishMarginalia a really really long backpacking/hiking trip. The three most popular long distance hiking trails in the US are the AT (2100 mi), PCT (2600 mi), and the CDT (3100 mi). Each year thousands of people attempt to hike one of these trails from end to end in one go. That is a thru hike. Did my first thru hike this year of the “shorter” Colorado Trail (500 mi). Going after my long time dream of the PCT in 2018. 🤞🏽 7y
BookishMarginalia That is impressive! 💪🏼 7y
hike.read.repeat @BookishMarginalia thanks. I‘m not a super athlete or anything like that. Most of the people that choose to hike these trails are just regular folks. There is tons of research and prep involved but mostly the trail makes you strong enough to keep going. 7y
