But for others, its a lifestyle.
Those who trek the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) fall into the latter category.
Along the way, hikers venture through the desert, up mountains, and traverse seven national parks.
The hikes reputation is what makes 71-year-old Pa’ats completion of the journey all the more extraordinary.
The duo celebrated Pa’at’s success via an Instagram post.
Not many people can say theyve accomplished such an incredible featespecially not at 71!They write.
The septuagenarian then breaks into song.
Ive been waiting… such a long time, he begins.
Walking such a long way.
Such a long way… just to be here, just to be here.
I walked through rivers, I climbed mountains, just to see you.
Just to see you.
Such a long time.
He has a heart of gold, the kindest soul, and unmatched optimism and fortitude.
Thank you for being such an inspiration to us, Paat!
A 71-year-old hiker named Paat completed the grueling Pacific Crest Trail.
This is absolutely remarkable.
Zero chance I’ll ever get even a tenth of it done in one trip.
Just the part from Yosemite to Tahoe is a haul.
