Day 8: Nice but hard side trip of the desert: climbing up to 9000 feet (ca. 3000 m). It was an incredible cold night but the view was amazing!! Reached mile 210.8. #californiaadventure #pct2016 #pctig #hikingforagoodcause #cancerprevention #womenwhohike #purplerainskirts http://www.kintera.org/preventcancertrail https://www.betterplace.org/en/fundraising-events/27475-active-against-cancer-4-279-km-fur-krebspravention (at San Jacinto Peak)

Even when the desert can be dangerous: the landscapes that we walk through are amazing and make it worth it. #pct2016 #womenwhohike #pctig #hikingforagoodcause #cancerprevention #californiaadventure (at Idyllwild, California)

Day 6: So far: the PCT is an adventure every single day! You have to motivate yourself every morning to keep walking with your hurting feet to do the milage. You never know where you gonna end up at the end of the day. The desert has so many challenges: Heat while you're walking turns into freezing cold at night or when you rest in a shade, many times you have to carry water for the next 20 miles (32km). You need to listen to your body: it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. What I learned during the first week: it's about the smiles, not the miles! 😊 #unshoes #LIVEKind #californiaadventure #pctig #pct2016 #womenwhohike #hikingforagoodcause #cancerprevention http://www.kintera.org/preventcancertrail https://www.betterplace.org/en/fundraising-events/27475-active-against-cancer-4-279-km-fur-krebspravention (at Idyllwild, California)
