Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off

ADZPCTKO is an annual backpacking event held at the Lake Morena Campground in California, 20.4 miles north of the border. Backpackers hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexican/CA border to the Washington/Canadian border (or vice versa). Backpackers doing sections of the trail over a number of years are called Section Hikers. Backpackers who hike the trail in one season straight through from one border to the other are called Through Hikers. The PCT is 2,660 miles long, staying as close as possible to the crests of the mountain ranges in California, Oregon and Washington. The PCT is a nationally dedicated long distance hiking trail.
