從美國墨西哥邊境出發，一路徒步健行往北，朝加拿大前進． 世界沒有改變，但我們的人生從此改變了． 2019年全程徒步太平洋屋脊步道一點都不容易，尤其是一路順著往北走，沒有跳過任何一段。 我們必須學習在極端的氣候與地形狀況下，做出最安全的決定。 在崩潰的邊緣找回初衷，在一次一次的淚水中變得更堅強。 在步道全段開放的狀況下（沒有像過去幾年因為大火而關閉部分路段），誰知道2019年竟然還是充滿了「雪」的一年呢？ 5月底遲到的暴風雪、6月底進入超過平均值200%的Sierra積雪和9月底提早來到的冬天。 經歷了沙漠的熱浪、背負重裝穿越那一座一座被雪覆蓋的高山、無數次水深及臀腿又將近結冰低溫的過溪和過河、跨越步道上一棵又一棵的倒木、躲避那像烏雲一般的蚊子軍團、黃蜂的攻擊、穿梭在生長過於茂密的樹叢間、突如其來的冰雹雷雨和閃電、步道旁的森林野火、暴風雪、...。我以為再也沒有任何事情能讓我們停下來，直到9月的雨和雪。這一路走來，充滿了痛、淚水、心理壓力和掙扎。 一開始根本不知道自己為何在這裡，結束之後又該如何面對現實生活？ 步道又會帶給我什麼樣的改變？ 這一切就像一幅永遠無法完成的神秘拼圖。每一小片都讓你毫無線索。 不過這5個月走來，卻是我人生中最美好的時光。 感謝載我們到城鎮和步道口的陌生人們、提供步道魔法的天使們，感謝一路上相遇的所有人、老朋友和新朋友。尤其從南加州開始，一路走在我們附近的徒步者們。若沒有這些人，我們大概也沒有辦法完成。 雖然從墨西哥沒有走到 " 加拿大 "，但是也完成了2/3的華盛頓州(只剩下約莫1週的路途)，我們已經很滿足了。 #一切都是最好的安排 ＊2024已完成剩餘路段 2024 PCT GEAR LIST 裝備清單 & 行程安排 https://reurl.cc/5d7n7z －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ In 2019, at the age of 30, we got married and moved into a new house. Almost everyone thought we were going to settle down. Instead, we left our job and our new house for our first long-distance thru-hike, also our "honeymoon". 165 days on the Pacific Crest Trail is not only a physical or mental challenge, we also put our marriage to test. We went all the way north from Mexico border to Stevens Pass, total of 2474 miles. Due to the early winter and snowstorms, we had to finish our hike earlier. Only 178.7 miles to the border, we decided to hike back 10 miles to Skykomish. It’s not easy to complete a thru-hike, especially in 2019. We had to learn how to confront and safely deal with uncomfortable extremes of weather and terrain conditions. It’s all about SNOW. It's hard to imagine what we have been through. Is it life-changing? Yes, it’s life-changing. But it’s not just because of the trail itself, it’s about the people we met, trail towns, and most importantly, our choices. We passed the test of heatwaves, snow-covered passes, creek, and river crossing, fallen logs, mosquito clouds, overgrown bushes, wasps attacks, lightning and thunderstorms, wildfires, rainstorms, snowstorms, and fearmongers... I thought nothing could stop us until the September rain and snow. It’s full of pain, tears, stress, and struggle. From the beginning, I have no idea why I’m here, what I’m going to do with my life after, and what I will learn from the trail. Everything is like a mystery puzzle that you are never gonna finish. After all the struggles, we finally reached Washington. But Washington had different plans for us. It gave us a whole new challenge when it suddenly became a winter wonderland. After reviewing our winter gear and our state of mind, we decided to keep going together. It’s weird that we are so close to Canada and yet feel so so far away. We decided not to put on our frozen shoes again. Not to risk our lives to just be there. This is already the craziest honeymoon and the best time of my life. Thanks to those who gave us rides from trailhead to town, and those who provided trail magic. Thanks to all the people we met on/off the trail. Especially Northbound hikers who hiked around us since Southern California, Sierra, VVR, and Sierra City. We couldn’t have made it this far without these amazing people. Thanks Henry and Cascadia Inn made us feel at home. I still believe that everything happens for a reason. Washington, we’ll be back for you. Cheers 🥂 🍻 PCT class of 2019. WE ARE ALL BADASSES. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 原本這一系列的影片都是為了自己作紀念而拍，放上來是希望能夠幫助未來需要參考PCT這條路線的人，因為我們出發前也深受前人所拍攝的紀錄片影響，對我們來說幫助非常非常大． 更多PCT分享請至 https://naiyunsunshine.com/ －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 如果你喜歡我的內容，歡迎給予我 #超級感謝 的留言，來支持我的創作 : ) If you enjoy my content, welcome to show your support with SUPER THANKS
