I’ve been bookmarking hiking/backpacking links like crazy recently. Here are a few that I thought might be interesting to Hike Yeah listeners:
Scott Williamson was the first person to do a PCT yo-yo. That means he started on the Mexican border, walked up to the Canadian border, then turned around and walked back down to the Mexican border.

Brian Robinson was the first person to hike the PCT, CDT, and AT in one calendar year. The Triple Crown is 7,371 miles in 300 days.

- Roy Ronbinson’s website chronicling his son’s trip
- TrailDad Roy’s and Flyin’ Brian’s Trail Adventure Page
- article in Sports Illustrated Adventure
- article from the New York Times
Matt Hazley also did the Triple Crown in a calendar year. But unlike Brian Robinson, who hiked in sections as dictated by weather until he had completed the trails, Matt hiked each of the three trails from start to finish.
