The Pacific Crest Trail is part of the Triple Crown of Hiking, alongside the Appalachian and Continental Divide Trails.

The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is one of the three major long-distance hiking trails in the United States that make up the Triple Crown of Hiking, the others being the Appalachian Trail (AT) and the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). The PCT stretches from Mexico to Canada, passing through the Sierra Nevada, and offers hikers a challenging and scenic route across diverse landscapes, including high-altitude forests, mountain peaks, and deserts. The trail’s inclusion in the Triple Crown highlights its significance and popularity among serious long-distance hikers.
