Pacific Crest Trail Context
Hikertown sits at approximately mile 518 of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail — at the critical crossing of Highway 138 where PCT through-hikers transition between the Mojave Desert section and the aqueduct walk. Water, shade, and rest at this point are not optional — they are survival necessities for hikers who have been walking through extreme desert heat for days.
The loss of Hikertown as a trail resource would have direct, documented consequences for PCT through-hiker safety.
