Welcome to the Pacific Crest Trail community! The trail is more than a ribbon of dirt, it’s a shared experience and place that binds us together. For many, the PCT holds the promise of a second home and strong and new friendships. Off the trail, our community remains connected.
If you want to talk trail, or merely have a question, we recommend the following venues.
Please “like” us on the Pacific Crest Trail Association Facebook page! It’s one of the best ways to stay up-to-date on PCT information.

The Pacific Crest Trail subreddit is a great, thriving discussion board for the trail.
We’re on Twitter @PCTAssociation. It’s a great way to connect with us. We tend to use the #PacificCrestTrail hashtag and share exclusive things that don’t get published anywhere else. Unfortunately, the #PCT hashtag is crowded with a lot of non-trail related things.
We’re on Instagram @PCTAssociation. It’s really fun. As on Twitter, we use the #PacificCrestTrail hashtag primarily. Tag your photos #PCTig to give us permission to regram them.
