Craig's PCT Planning Program
version 3.0
|
This is just a test version of the program, the results might be inaccurate for the time being. Doublecheck the post office addresses too!
The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,665 mile long hiking trail from Mexico to Canada, located in the states of California, Oregon, and Washington. If you would like more information on the PCT itself, check out the Pacific Crest Trail Association's homepage.
Planning for a PCT hike is a lot of work and the actual planning of a PCT hiking schedule can be time consuming. The goal of this program is to simplify the planning process by:
Choosing resupply locations
Determining how many days of food are needed between resupply points
Projecting arrival dates at each resupply location
Adjusting your hiking time based on terrain
Gathering addresses of each post office that you will be using
Please note: I have done my best to fix all bugs and known errors with this program. The intent of this program is to provide a tool for estimating your hiking time and not a substitute for careful planning of a PCT hike. Although I've done my best to ensure that this program works correctly, I cannot guarentee that the distances/times this program gives you will be 100% accurate.
If you have any questions or comments please drop me a message.

I am back in Porltand, Oregon now. New PCT planner site will be up after I finish the new humanclock.com website. When that will be exactly, eh, how about we change the subject. :)

Oh dear, such neglect. I'm trying to get the site revised but it is going slow. Most of my time has been spent on the clock picture website. (check it out, a photo for every minute of the day!) I'm going to Australia in a week and hope to update this site via my laptop.

I've made a bunch of changes and linked up this version to the outside world. There are still a few bugs floating around. The old version of this program is still online. Please contact me if you have problems or have questions.

New version is finally online! This program is a much needed rewrite to the PCT planning program I wrote in 1997. I have been working on this new version on and off for the past two years and am happy to finally have it done. A big thank you goes out to everyone who has given me feedback over the past few years and my friends for putting up with my whining / anti-social behavior while I worked on this program.
