Walk a section of the 2,650-mile trail from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. The High Sierra section (Yosemite to Whitney Portal) is the crown jewel — sustained altitude above 10,000 feet, river crossings, and exposed passes. The Oregon section is gentler but longer between resupply. Either way, you're carrying everything on your back through genuine wilderness.
