Long-distance hiking and riding on the PNT

For most of its existence, as few as five or ten were bold and experienced enough to tackle a Crown-to-Coast adventure on the Pacific Northwest Trail each year.

Long distance trail lovers will recognize that these numbers are relatively low. End-to-end treks “against the grain” of the rugged northwest topography of the Pacific Northwest Trail represent a rare accomplishment – historically, less than half of all attempts to complete the entire PNT in a single season have been successful.

To publicly honor the achievement of these hardy men and women, the PNTA has created an official list of those who completed all 1,200 miles of the Pacific Northwest Trail. We acknowledge that this preliminary list may be far from complete and encourage PNT end-to-enders to submit a 1,200 Miler Form or to contact us.

The special passion 1,200 Milers hold for the Pacific Northwest Trail helps to ensure its legacy; the personal stories long-distance hikers share about the struggles and rewards of the trail are what draw others to experience the PNT and the beautiful landscapes and historic main streets of the Northwest.

In 1977, Ron Strickland began tracking the first exploratory thru-hikes on the PNT, but over the last forty years, many finishers’ accomplishments have been lost to history—until now.
