Hiking Cactus to Clouds and the Pacific Crest Trail

This week's episode is all about hiking! At the beginning of this month, I hiked the Cactus to Clouds trail up to San Jacinto Peak, where I met three hikers in the midst of hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail.

I start by sharing my experience with the grueling Cactus to Clouds hike, then dive into the interviews with Stripes, Mr. Snuggles and Dink (their PCT trail names).

I spoke with them all about what motivated them to start this long, arduous journey, and we talk a bit about Cactus to Clouds.

I ask them each what they're most looking forward to, how and what they decided to bring, and the logistics of their trip.

We talk about the terrain for a bit, then end with discussing their next big goals once they complete the PCT.
