It’s your eyes we want…at least what you’ve seen through them. What exactly did you see out there? Maybe you captured the moment. Created the mood. Found the feeling. So share!

The 2020 Pacific Crest Trail Association Photo Contest is in full swing.

That means it’s time for you to pay it forward by spreading the love. Your photos could inspire the next person to take that giant leap and make their own PCT journey. They could inspire the next donor to give a little more to maintain and protect the trail. After all, most of the photos we’ll publish in 2020 will come from you. We’ll use them to promote the trail and the work of our association.

You see? We need your creativity. Your favorite trail needs it, too. And the great thing is you might win a prize from our amazing sponsors at LEKI.

All the information you need to enter the contest is here. Send your best eye candy. And many thanks!
