Fourteen photos from the start of the Pacific Crest Trail this year

The thru-hikers have been on trail for about a month now. We’ve met a bunch of them, and interacted with even more on Instagram. Here are a few good Pacific Crest Trail hiker photos that were shared with us through the #PCTig hashtag. Follow us at @PCTAssociation.
