Danae and Olen Netteburg and their five children, aged two to 14, are currently midway through completing the Pacific Crest Trail after the family already hiked the Appalachian Trail and Continental Divide, clocking up thousands of miles.
Taking on three of the most remote and rugged long-distance trails of America would be a challenge for any hiker. But attempting to hike them with several young children in tow – well that’s a completely different ball game.
“It really added a great deal of complexity into the hike,” says Olen. They set off with their new addition, who they nicknamed “dead weight,” and the rest of the children in March 2022. But having to carry a newborn along with them didn’t slow this hiking family down at all. In fact, they were able to complete Continental Divide Trail in six months, a month less time than the Appalachian Trail had taken them.
