SoBo
Hiking from Canada to Mexico.
The Pacific Crest Trail connects E.C. Manning Provincial Park, BC and Campo, CA. Most hikers start in Campo and walk north (NoBo).
SoBo is my journal of completing the 4,270 km trail. Heading southbound each year, I walked long sequential segments to complete in Spring 2026.
