Trek for Trevor

In this article, Trek for Trevor Vice President and PCT thru-hiker Russell Hepton discusses tips and tricks to stay safe when hiking in the San Jacinto mountains of southern California, especially when snow and ice are present. Russell crossed paths with Trevor during their attempted thru-hike of the PCT in 2020. He exited the trail at the I-10 overpass just north of Idyllwild due to concerns over COVID-19, but returned for a successful southbound attempt in 2022. Thanks Russ for your commitment to keeping hikers safe with an educational article about one of the most dangerous sections of the entire PCT! https://lnkd.in/ggQS8wJa #HikerSafety #TrekforTrevor #TrekSmart #TrekSafe #PCT #SanJacinto

With colder months approaching, please remember hiking in snow and cold weather requires proper gear for safety and comfort. Layer your clothing, wear insulated, waterproof boots, and bring warm accessories like hats and gloves. Carry safety essentials such as a map, compass, and headlamp, and stay hydrated with insulated water bottles. And if you’re a hard core hiker heading into the mountains, don’t forget your MICROspikes and ice axe! With the right preparation, you can enjoy a safe and beautiful winter hike. #TrekforTrevor #HikerSafety #TrekSmart #TrekSafe #WinterHiking
