I just found out the official Pacific Crest Trail is 2,650 miles long, not 2,650.1
I was reading the PCTA's website last night, planning a section hike for next year. They have this whole page about trail length, and it says the exact number is 2,650 miles from border to border. For some reason I always thought it was that extra tenth of a mile, like it was a more precise number. It's a tiny detail, but it made me double-check all my other planned distances. Has anyone else had a simple trail fact turn out to be wrong in their notes?
