Day 154 - TERMINUS DAY

Miles hiked: 18
Campsite: hotel in Chilliwack
Weather: 40s and ☀️
One word to describe the day: canadaaaaaa

This morning was freezing!! But our final campsite was a stunning one. The mountains that surrounded us were so great to wake up to. We only had 11 miles to the northern terminus. 11 miles left!!!!! At the start of this journey I remember counting all my firsts. First water filter, first hill, first sleep, first lizard, first trail marker. Today I had my last water filter, last climb, last switchback, last step on the PCT. We got to high five friends that had made it to the terminus and were headed back to harts pass. We said heartfelt "till next time's" because goodbyes suck. It felt so surreal to reach the border. We did it! I hiked 2400 miles of the PCT and I'm super proud of everything I've pushed through to get here.

We hung out at the monument for a bit and then headed into Canada on the monument 87 trail. It was not a trail😆 we followed horse tracks out. We made it eventually with wet feet and battle wounds. Luckily the horses we followed out were in the parking lot, the only car there. They were a really nice couple from a town called Chilliwack and have us a ride! We ended up getting a hotel room in Chilliwack for the night, got delicious Indian food and capped the night off with blizzards!

I'm going to write one last final 'takeaways' post but I want some time to process this all. Today was a beautiful day that I will remember for the rest of my life. 💗Читать далее
