In the summer of 2022, Colin spent 10 weeks hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Tahoe to Mt. Whitney to Washington to the Canadian border. Along the way, he encountered wildfires, steep snow-covered slopes, countless mountain sunsets, and many random acts of kindness. To those who have dreamed of venturing into the wild, or have already walked many of these same footsteps, Colin will share his stories and what he learned along the way.
