The Pacific Crest Trail Association’s Trail Fest is an opportunity for members and non-members to learn more about the trail and how to get the most out of recreational and volunteer experiences on it. The 2006 Trail Fest was a great success – check out the photos below!

1) The trail detour in the Angeles National Forest
2) Bear-related and campfire regulations in the Sierra Nevada
3) An update on the detour and trail rebuilding in the Glacier Peak area of Washington, and
4) Links to learn more about Andrew Skurka's monumental Sea-to-Sea trek

Weekend Events

Friday

Dr. Michael Adams, son of Ansel Adams, presented an evening slide show presentation. In 1971, he and his wife Jeanne assumed control of the family photography studio in Yosemite, which later became the Ansel Adams Gallery. He remains Chairman of the Board for the family businesses, and is also an active board member of The Yosemite Fund and The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona.

The slide show was followed by Trail Stories, a celebration of the storytelling tradition. Here Chuckie V. tells his story of being fog-bound in Goat Rocks Wilderness.
