This Week’s Top Instagram Posts from the #PacificCrestTrail

Thru-hiking season is in full throttle on the #PCT! And there are some great photos floating around thanks to all the hikers out there! Unfortunately, if you are reading this right now, you probably aren’t out on the trail (thanks for reading if you are!). Good news, this is the next best thing!

If you’d like to be featured, we search Instagram for great photos with the hashtag #PacificCrestTrail, #PCT and #PacificCrestTrials (our personal favorite) and select a few standouts each week for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s some visual splendor chock full of the insta-greatness we have all been waiting for. The following photos were taken between 8/29 to 9/4.

Just received 13 rolls of film from @thedarkroomlab straight from the PCT. In April before I started my hike I bought a new 35mm film camera that I had no idea how to use and wasn't even able to test out, getting to see images from this beast for the first time is a real pleasure. Shot on the Contax G2 with @cinestillfilm. #pct2016 #pcta #pctig #pacificcresttrail #pacificcresttrials #hiking #backpacking #thruhike #thruhiker #adventureanywhere #awakethesoul #wildernessnation #comforttheory #anywherewild #goatworthy #thegreatoutdoors #myfeatureshoot #hikelighter #aldhawest #untrackedexperience #bpmag #trailchat #takemebackpacking #fstoppers #somewheremagazine #theadventureproject #filmisnotdead #contaxg2 #thedarkroomlab_outdoorfun

Mackenzie Findeisen's Bio

Hi, my name is Mackenzie, but most refer to me as Mack Daddy. Hawaii native, living in Boulder, Colorado (shocker). I am a student at the University of Colorado, Boulder pursuing a BS in Journalism and a BA in Communication. Meanwhile, I spend my time climbing rocks, riding down snowy hills, chasing waterfalls and snuggling with my cat. I fell in love with backpacking when I was 16 and hiked a small portion of the #AT. Since then, I've been busying myself with school and short backpacking trips around Colorado (still haven't found a favorite, suggestions?).
