This year, Ryan Stevenson (Biochem) completed the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), the second-longest hiking trail in the United States. The 2,650-mile-long PCT begins at the United States-Mexico border and weaves through California, Oregon and Washington, ending at the United States-Canada border in Manning Park, British Columbia. After CU, Ryan worked for the Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp). He left his job in April to prepare and pursue this four-month hike.
