Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail

Her first overnight backpacking trip. The first time she’d ever hiked more than 10 miles in one go. A cross-country adventure with a man she’d been dating for less than a year. All in all, a hastily conceived adventure. On Oct. 6 Tiahnna WillmsCQ completed the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail alongside her hiking partner Nick DeLangis.
