Pacific Crest Trail Day 52: Dave (Trail Name: Neon) crosses Mather Pass in the Sierra Nevada, battling deep snow, postholing, and countless water crossings on his 2,650-mile journey from Mexico to Canada. This PCT 2026 adventure covers 19.7 miles through one of the most beautiful and challenging sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. Mather Pass delivered everything the Sierra is known for: snow-covered trails, rushing creeks, alpine lakes, incredible mountain views, and plenty of challenges along the way.

Every turn revealed another stunning view, and the day ended at a beautiful lakeside campsite with an unexpected visitor when a curious deer wandered into camp. 🥾 Day 52 📍 Mather Pass 📏 19.7 Miles 🏔️ Sierra Nevada 💦 Countless Water Crossings 🦌 Deer Visitor 🇨🇦 800+ Miles Down, Canada Still Calling Follow along as Dave hikes the entire Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada while Lori documents the journey from their RV base in Truckee, California. 👍 Like, Comment & Subscribe to follow the adventure. #PacificCrestTrail #PCT2026 #MatherPass #SierraNevada #PCT #ThruHike #Backpacking #HikingAdventure
