About The Pacific Crest Trail Association:
The Pacific Crest Trail Association is a membership organization formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and is recognized as a charitable and educational organization under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3.

The mission of the Pacific Crest Trail Association is to protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as an internationally significant resource for the enjoyment of hikers and equestrians, and for the value that wild and scenic lands provide to all people.

Pacific Crest Trail Association Mission:
Where Will We Be in 2010?

Picture yourself on the Pacific Crest Trail in three years. Where would you be? In the North Cascades? The desert? No matter where your trail days take you, the Pacific Crest Trail Association's Strategic Plan, approved by the Board of Directors in July 2006, will help ensure that the PCT you travel will be better protected and preserved down the road than it is today. Use the link below to download and read the plan:

The PCTA strives to achieve this mission by:

• Working in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies in the maintenance and restoration of the PCT;
• Recruiting hundreds of dedicated volunteers and providing them with vigorous, meaningful work on the PCT;
• Identifying threats to the PCT corridor (such as development proposals or illegal use by off-road vehicles), and working with partners to mitigate impacts to the corridor;
• Promoting the PCT as a unique educational and recreation treasure and as one of the finest trails anywhere in the world.

Vision

The Pacific Crest Trail Association has a vision for the future of the Pacific Crest Trail and a vision for the future of our organization. Our vision for the future includes:

• The entire Pacific Crest Trail corridor is permanently protected, well maintained and managed. It is well known both nationally and internationally, and is treasured by hikers and equestrians who appreciate its remote natural character.
• Through strong partnerships, professional staff and committed volunteers, the Pacific Crest Trail Association is the Trail’s champion and steward and is widely recognized for its roles.
