Joan Tomlinson, trail name Blue Jay, started hiking the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) at the California/Mexico border in April 2016 with the intention of getting to the Washington/Canada border to complete a thru-hike in one season. She was drawn back to long-distance hiking after completing a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2014. Her PCT thru-hike turned into a MYTH (multi-year thru-hike) as she encountered trail conditions beyond her level of expertise. She completed her hike of the PCT over a three year period in September of 2018. 

Blue Jay says her PCT experience reinforced her deeply felt connections to this planet we call home. She says she saw time written on the mountains, with jagged peaks eroding and giving way to life climbing those same peaks, and that has provided her with a wonderful perspective on the time and space we each hold in the grand scheme of life on Earth. Come hear about her experience!
