If you ever thought about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) but needed a little bit more incentive (it is very long, after all) then maybe this offer might tempt you.
To celebrate the opening of the new 16-mile, eight-years-in-the-making Capital to Tahoe Trail (which links Carson City to the Tahoe Rim Trail and, by extension, the PCT), Visit Carson City is looking for two thru-hikers to trek from Carson City to Canada in 2025, and they’ll pay them $5,000 each to chronicle the epic adventure. That’s a hike of 16,000 miles in total, which should take two to three months.
