Town of Webb high school graduate, Tyler Socash, completed the 2,650 mile hike from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) on Monday, October 26th.
He began hiking the trail on Saturday, June 27th.
Tyler’s parents Pamela and Thomas Socash joined him to hike the last mile of the trail.
“They surprised me! I wasn’t sure if they could make it out there,” Tyler said.
“The last half mile was pretty spooky with a 1,500 foot precipice on either side,” he said.
Tyler said his gang topped the trip off with a tour of four national parks and an ocean swim.
“It was so wonderful to finish the PCT with the two people who introduced me to the great outdoors,” he said.
