“You want to do what?”
“Yeah, let’s hike from Canada to Mexico.”
“With the kids?”

Welcome to the Pacific Crest Trail.

The Strawbridge family found themselves shivering in a cold rain on a high pass in the North Cascade Mountains far from civilization and armed with little more than a vague notion of what it would take to walk 2650 miles up and down a wild and remote wilderness trail from Canada to Mexico.

“Can you even walk from Canada to Mexico? And with a family?”

Vince and Monica set out with their four children, ranging in age from 11 to 16, on the walk of a lifetime . Like any family adventure, it would be filled with squabbles and fun. An experience compounded all the more by mosquitoes, and bears,` and blisters, and plantar fasciitis, and dirt, and miscalculation of miles, and time, so much time.

It wasn’t a vision entirely without forethought. The kids were getting older and soon would be gone. Vince and Monica saw the value of immersing them in nature, sharing hardship that would be simple and clear. They knew there would be times when they would all lose heart and have to regain it. And times when it would feel like they had nothing left to give. But they also knew they would be doing it, every step, together.

Join the family as they traverse the United States from the top to the bottom, and listen in as they sort out what it means to be a family in pursuit of a goal that seemed unattainable.
