pct talk!

🥳 rasmussen woods!

on december 21, 2025 i went on a winter solstice hike with southern minnesota guy in mankato — traditional territory of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Wahpekute, and Wahpeton nations.

with this video dropping on new year’s day, i thought it was a good time to both look back on some 2025 pacific crest trail hike highlights, and look forward to my 2026 pct plans!

my trail name’s mythic and in 2025 i continued my multi-year thru-hike (m.y.t.h.) of the pacific crest trail. as i make plans to return to the pct (and hopefully tackle other section- and thru-hikes in the future), i'm going on day hikes to help keep in trail shape!
