ABOUT THIS EPISODE

It's been a year since I met Trevor Laher on the Pacific Crest Trail as we embarked on our 2,665-mile journey from Mexico to Canada.

We hiked together for a short while, but never would I have imagined that chatting with him at Montezuma Valley would be the last time I saw him.

On the 27th of March 2020, snow-covered icy slopes and a lack of winter equipment caused Trevor to have a fatal fall in the San Jacinto Mountains at Apache Peak.

Since that day, Doug Laher, his father, says after months of difficulty, his son's story has given him a new purpose in life, to selflessly ensure the safety of others following in Trevor's footsteps.

This is the story of how a father's son's tragedy is saving the lives of others on the PCT.

SPECIAL THANKS

We at Trek for Trevor would like to express our deepest gratitude for featuring Doug on their podcast to talk about Trevor, the Trek for Trevor foundation and hiker safety, preparation and awareness.
