EOU's Danielle Kelley at the beginning of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Eastern Oregon University student athlete Danielle Kelley is on her hike on the coveted Pacific Crest Trail, and fans can now follow every step.
Kelley is updating an online blog frequently with a journal of her travels, along with photographs. Followers can even sign up for her online guest book and post messages for her to read on the trip.
The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,650-mile trek from Campo, California on the Mexican border to Manning Park, British Columbia just into Canada. The trail crosses through forests, over mountainous terrain, and across deserts.
The recommended time to pursue the trip is late April to late September, so Danielle is hitting it at the right time. The fastest hike of the trail was done in 83 days and five hours, but trips can take anywhere from four to six months. Most hikers average about 20 miles per day on the PCT.
Kelley has gone over 200 miles of her trip as of Sunday and enters the Sierra Nevada Range. The link will remain on the right side of the EOUSports.com homepage temporarily, but stay on the volleyball page of EOUSports.com through the entirety of her trip.
