E18: Canice Leung returns from the PCT

Friend of the pod and episode 2 guest Canice Leung is back from her long-ass section hike (LASH) on the Pacific Crest Trail. 

Canice covered the first 1,090 miles of the PCT this spring and summer, hiking from the southern terminus in Campo to Lake Tahoe. She saw gopher snakes, rattlers and fruit platters arranged to look like Donald and Melania Trump riding dolphins. She filtered water from questionable sources. She caught the last season of Scout and Frodo’s hiker hosting. She toughed out the desert and walked through the Sierra.

For this episode, she shares the long and gory run down, offers some thoughts on the culture of thru-hiking and gives advice to Canadians hoping to hike the trail. 

📍The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the traditional territories of dozens of Indigenous Peoples, including the Western Shoshone, the Kumeyaay, the Serrano, Washoe and others. To study an interactive map of the territories along the PCT, visit native-land.ca.
