“PCT Days is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community of PCT lovers in the Pacific NW. The PCTA has been part of the event since the beginning, and we are excited to see the event grow and attract more people. The event has a casual, everyone-is-welcome vibe – whether you are a new day hiker or an experienced long-distance hiker, it’s a chance to celebrate the Pacific Crest Trail.”
“PCT Days has given Granite Gear the priceless one on one contact with our core thru-hiker audience from all over the world. In addition, with Cascade Locks adjacency to Portland, we get exposure to one of the most passionate outdoor cities in the world. This combination makes PCT Days a must attend event for Granite Gear!”
“I’ve have never been able to attend an outdoor festival such as this and was very pleased with the exhibition layout and participating sponsors. Walking the festival was like walking into an outfitter, with every product owner, inventor, specialist or sales staff right there at your fingertips. I was able to touch and feel soooo many great products I have only been able to read about online or watch YouTube videos.”
