The finish line is finally in sight—and then, suddenly, it's behind you. Our 2026 Trail Correspondents share two sides of the final stretch on the AT, PCT, and CDT: the anticipation, mixed emotions, and countdown to the end, followed by the highs, exhaustion, and reflections of reaching the finish. After months and thousands of miles, they look back on what the journey has taught them, how it's changed them, and what comes next.
