Why it works

The Southern California PCT section is the most water-critical stretch of the entire trail — water sources can be 20+ miles apart in the desert sections, making accurate water cache and natural source mapping essential for safe passage. The climb from the Mojave Desert to the San Gabriel Mountains' pine forests is one of the most dramatic elevation changes on the PCT. Waterproof construction survives the desert heat and the occasional rain that can make trail sections slippery.

Ideal for

PCT thru-hikers, section hikers, and trail angels navigating the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains section of the Pacific Crest Trail. See also NGTI1012 (PCT San Jacinto & Laguna Mountains) for the adjacent southern section.
