I'm considering taking the next step and am curious what you think are some good tips or tricks for anyone on the pct?

It was decafinated.

A beautiful day for a hike. It was getting warm, but the canopy kept all of us cool.

Bonsai Hill trail provided some beautiful views and plenty of shade for a warm summer hike with the dogs.

Recently did a 2 day trip that looped up to this summit. There were some intense inclines and a few scrambles, but the views were incredible.
