Liz & Simon Willis
Liz and Simon Willis thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2002 and recorded conversations with people they met along the way. The recordings were lost until 2022 when they were turned into this limited series.
Pacific Crest Trail, Then and Now
What's it like to spend six months walking the length of the United States, from Mexico to Canada, following a wilderness trail? Liz and Simon Willis tackled the Pacific Crest Trail in 2002 at a time many people now consider to be a 'classic era' on the PCT. They recorded conversations with hikers, trail angels and townsfolk and, eventually, assembled them into this audio time capsule of a life-changing endurance walk. Things are brought up to date in fresh interviews with people who know the trail well, including a couple who hiked the PCT exactly twenty years later.
