Want to Help Create This site?

Wild Mountain Farms opened this website in the summer of 2020 and it is a work in progress. We hope to create a site where equestrians wishing to ride some or all of the Pacific Crest Trail can get information, education and resources for their trip. 

The information on this site is a collaboration of many riders and lovers of the PCT. We welcome anyone with relevant experience to join us in creating this site. If you have anything to ad, contact us today!
