I love statistics, and hiking the Pacific Crest Trail has provided me with plenty of data to sift through.

Previously, I reported my PCT statistics in five different progress reports: The Desert, The Sierra, NorCal, Oregon, and Washington.

The following is a compilation of all the statistical information found in the aforementioned reports and some additional information regarding overall trail data. Alternatively, if you would like to view the results of the most recent PCT Hiker Survey (averaged stats from hundreds of PCT hikers), those numbers can be found here.

Goodbye PCT, hello flushing toilets and the expectation of bathing regularly.

Somehow that sounds less exciting than I thought it would.
