Pacific Crest Trail
It’s a famous trail, tracing the entire US west coast from top to bottom. It seems John Muir features in the trail, as well as on my bucketlist, so perhaps hiking the trail is actually a good idea, killing multiple birds with one stone. In the interest of time (hiking the entire trail took this experienced hiker half a year), I should perhaps stick to the Californian stretch, as it seems the most interesting and safest in terms of good weather.
