Summary

The Pacific Crest Trail, a trail that spans over 2,600 miles along the west coast of the United States, attracts hikers from all over the world.  Taking almost 5 months to complete, finishing the PCT is a feat very few have achieved.  Along the way, hikers experience the burning heat of the Mojave desert, the stunning snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and the tranquil beauty of the Northwest’s temperate rain forests.  However, the PCT has a more mysterious side.  In recent years, a string of unsolved disappearances have puzzled those who live near and hike the trail.  Join us this week as we investigate several disappearances on the PCT and try to piece together what happened.  Thank you to all our new Patreon supporters - shout out to Neal Brophy, Mikhail Usov, Raul Gutierrez, Watson, Jamie Blackwell, Kate Thackery, & Lauren Beames.  We will be upgrading our Patreon offerings to include swag.  Stay Tuned for more details. Learn about other unsolved missing persons cases in America's wilderness at Locations Unknown. Follow us on Facebook & Instagram.
