If you come all the way from the Mexican border this is where your epic journey along the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail ends. It might also be the start of your adventure if you chose to hike the National Scenic Trail southbound. It is marked with a wooden pillar monument a little south of the international boundary marker to Canada called Monument 78.

As of January 25, 2025, the Pacific Crest Trail permit program to enter Canada has ended. You are only allowed to enter Canada using a designated point of entry.

On the United States side, the nearest road to pick up a hiker is Hart’s Pass Road (usually passenger-vehicle accessible) which is a hike of around 30 miles south from the northern terminus.

As getting to and from the northern terminus is not that easy since there are no roads, here are some helpful tipps for logistics and maps:
