We wanted to do something different as a small token of gratitude for helping us reach 50,000 subscribers, so we decided to compile a bunch of the nature shots from the Southern California portion of the PCT, including some that you haven't seen yet :) Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy it!

Dixie becomes the highest person in the contiguous United States, and she hikes through the most treacherous river crossings and mountain passes of the PCT so far. And she makes a snow cone. Special thanks to NickWentHiking for sharing some of his awesome footage of Dixie.
