About Me

I live and do most of my hiking in wild Washington state, USA.

I am American and Australian.

My first overnight hike was with my Dad around Mt. Rainier (Seattle's volcano).

My favorite hikes all involve alpine wilderness and good fishing lakes that not many people know about.

I've already hiked sections of the PCT.

My trail name is "King Magnus".

My favorite hiking buddy is my Dad.

Hello!

I'm Magnus, aka "The G". I'm 11 and I have wanted to thru-hike the awesome PCT since I was 6. I started this website to share my prep and journey north with family and friends in the U.S., Australia, Israel, and India.

But, I get a *lot* of questions about kid thru-hiking alpine wilderness, so ...

Now my website is meant for anyone who is interested in hiking, the wilderness, and the awesome PCT from a kid's perspective. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for visiting!
