A Richland man had a big goal and he decided to go for it! Aaron Ellig had heard of people hiking from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. Now, 5 months and over 2600 miles later, He’s done it!
To quote Aaron from his Blog (One Man, One Trail), “The PCT was a hell of an adventure! Thanks to everyone who followed my journey and story. The comments an encouragement was awesome.” Ellig also reports, “In a little under five months I have covered 2660 miles, six national parks, 25 national forests, 48 wilderness zones, and over 420,000 feet of elevation change.”
Ellig started his journey in April, you can see other entries here:
