Coming to the PCT 2027
The PCT Hiker Trash Passport
A physical passport carried by Hiker Trash, from border to border.
Example Only
What Is It?
When a hiker walks into a trail-town shop, climbs into a shuttle, or crosses paths with a trail angel, they pull out their passport and get it stamped.
Each checkpoint has a custom rubber stamp.
Each stamp is permanent.
By the time a hiker reaches the terminus, they have a physical record of every person and place that helped carry them there.
They keep it long after the trail ends.
What Is In It?
One side holds stamps.
The other holds what hikers need, town by town: trail angels, lodging, resupply, outfitters, and shuttles.
Accessible offline when the signal disappears.
Every passport includes a QR code linking hikers to a downloadable trail resource guide for the entire trail, which they can save to their phone before they lose signal.
Why It Exists?
The PCT community is held together by the people who show up for each other.
The Passport makes that visible, permanently, in something hikers carry the entire length of the trail.
Created by PCT Hiker Trash.
For PCT Hiker Trash.
For PCT Hiker Trash.
And those who support and keep the trail alive.
