The Pacific Crest Trail follows the highest portion of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range, which parallels the Pacific Ocean by 100 to 150 miles. The Pacific Crest Trail is 2,650 miles long and ranges in elevation from just above sea level at the Oregon-Washington border to 13,153 feet at Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevada. The route passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks.

Hazards: Severe weather, dehydration, wildlife. (Just want a Mom likes to know.)

Resupply points are towns or post offices where hikers replenish food and other supplies such as cooking fuel. Hikers can ship packages to themselves at the U.S. Post Offices along the trail, resupply at general and grocery stores along the trail, or any combination of the two.

Jack, Brad and Erik are mostly purchasing supplies along the way. Only a few items will be shipped to them at specific locations. As mentioned earlier these items will be shoes, boots, ice picks, and maps.
