Great start. Hope you make it all the way. That Purple flowering shrub is called Ceanothus Thyrsiflorus Victoria. It’s color ranges from white to dark purple. Most just refer to the plant as Ceanothus pronouncing See-an-OH-this. If you’re around them without wind they’ve got a wonderful scent.
Beautiful- love following your journey and your discoveries of American things (bagel slicers and switchbacks!) You’re seeing all the green because of all that unusual rain California had 💗- seeing the ‘superbloom’ of wild flowers. Gorgeous. Anyway, so when you go back to the UK - have them put switchbacks on their climbing trails, instead of going straight up😂. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your PCT
I was just out that way last week. Forgot you were starting the PCT. I delivered a truck and camper to be shipped over to Hawaii. Headed to LA next week. Looks like a good start.
Yay, you're on trail. Exciting times. Good luck. Keep trekking. 😀

Way to get shy folks to engage. Great start.

Great video Julia. Enjoy the journey.
Great first day! That breakfast looked amazing. You had unusual lush green landscape thanks to the wonderful rain we’ve had!!🥰
It’s beautiful (breakfast and terrain)
How exciting! You’re off!
Looking forward to following your journey. The blue flowering plant looks like Ceanothus (Californian lilac)

So excited you made it!!! Can’t wait to follow your journey!
Wow! Everyone looks so clean and tidy, Not for long... Good Luck, Health and safety.. Richy PCT88.
Omg! I’ve never been so filthy. There is no way to capture the pure grime of this trail. I knew I’d be dirty but this is another level. 😂
Amazing video to see peeps walking the first day of the PCT. I've read a books, but never seen the landscape. Good luck Julia :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks real hot but a great start to the first day and good to keep on meeting fellow hikers on the trail, cheers Alan
