GOOD MORNING IDYLLWILD

PCT Hikers Page

Although the PCT Association recommends hikers attempting to hike the entire PCT Trail northbound (2,650 miles from Mexican border to Canadian border) NOT start until mid-late April, inevitably, we will start to see PCT hikers come through Idyllwild beginning in mid March. About 50 hikers a day usually start the trail at the border heading north.
