Everett Branch Open House - An Incredible Journey on the Pacific Crest Trail

Pat Cook, a long-time Everett Branch Mountaineer, will provide a presentation on Pacific Crest Trail, which he completed in 2014. At the age of 50, Pat quit his job and went for a long walk. As an inexperienced but determined backpacker, his amazing PCT journey took almost 6 months and covered more than 2,650 miles. Pat saw stunning scenery, visited two hospital emergency rooms, made life-long friends, and fulfilled a goal he had since age 10 by walking through the deserts, forests and mountains - all the way from Mexico to Canada. Join us to hear a few stories and lessons learned along the way. This is a great opportunity to get inspired to check out the Pacific Crest Trail, an incredible treasure right in our backyard.
