This 4,286-kilometre trek offers a variety of environments ranging from dry, hot deserts to huge mountains stacked one behind the other. As most settlers came from the north, the trail area they encountered was very hilly. Whereas today's hikers will find a beautiful and challenging route, with a variety of environments and landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of the Pacific Crest Trail began when the route was first explored in the late 1930s by YMCA youth teams. Once it proved feasible, trail pioneers Clinton Clarke and Warren Rogers lobbied the federal government to secure a corridor of trails from border to border. However, they had to settle on several disconnected trails along each state's border. Largely through the efforts of hikers, the PCT was eventually designated one of the first scenic trails in the National Trails System authorised by Congress in 1968, and was opened in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, the<em> Pacific Crest Trail<\/em> is actually a relatively modern name. Prior to 1993, it was known as a general collection of trails that ran along the route with parts of trails such as the<a href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/john-muir-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <strong>John Muir Trail<\/strong><\/a>among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"1852849207\" data-aawp-product-id=\"37201\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"travesiapiren-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"The Pacific Crest Trail  Hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada  International Trekking  [Idioma Ingl\u00e9s]\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sales<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/1852849207?tag=travesiapiren-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"The Pacific Crest Trail: Hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada (International Trekking) [English Language].\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61ZRVKnVnmL.jpg\" alt=\"The Pacific Crest Trail: Hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada (International Trekking) [English Language].\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/1852849207?tag=travesiapiren-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"The Pacific Crest Trail: Hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada (International Trekking) [English Language].\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            The Pacific Crest Trail: Hiking the PCT from Mexico to Canada (International Trekking) [English Language].        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n                                                        \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\">20,57 EUR<\/span>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/dp\/1852849207?tag=travesiapiren-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"See on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">See on Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Planeando_tu_ruta\"><\/span>Planning your route<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to go?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Pacific Crest Trail<\/em> It must be done without snow.
