On our travels in the west, Derek and I have hiked different sections of the PCT – mostly up in Oregon, but some in California. This time we did a small day out and back hike on the PCT...
Clear Creek Ride & Hike
From our boondocking spot in Camp Verde, we rode out a gravel road and did a hike up along Clear Creek. The hike actually goes for something like 21 miles but you have to cross the creek (the sign...
