Bryden ”Simba” Bowley - PCT Thru-Hiker

Pre-loaded on Lucky Slice Pizza and a season of snowboarding, Bryden "Simba" Bowley left his home in Ogden, Utah this spring with a goal of thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail north to Canada. We caught up with Bryden on Labor Day for an update on his progress. Fueled on Snickers and afternoon coffee, Bryden is covering nearly 30 miles a day. Bryden dishes on his advice to anyone thinking of hiking the PCT, tells us WHY he's really doing this, along with a strong endorsement for Altra shoes.
