Pacific Crest Trail – see it all in seven minutes [VIDEO]

  The Pacific Crest Trail is a stupefying 2,663 mile slog of punishing desert terrain, mountain climbs, rocky crags, vertigo-inducing ridges and unpredictable weather-related liveliness that makes the “grueling and demanding” Appalachian Trail seem like a mellow stroll.
