Planning PCT resupplies can get messy
While on your hike, you’ll constantly ask yourself:
How many miles to the next town?
How many days of food do I need?
When will I arrive there?
Many hikers end up doing math on trail over and over again.
That’s why we built the Smart PCT Planner.
It gives you a clear overview of every town on the trail and automatically estimates:
Distances between stops
Days between resupplies
Arrival dates to towns
A thru-hike rarely goes exactly as planned… weather, injuries, trail magic, or new trail friends can easily change your schedule.
With just a few clicks, the planner updates instantly so you can adjust your plan along the way.
Features:
📍 See every town on the trail
A complete list of PCT resupply towns with their mile markers.
📅 Estimate arrival dates to towns
Get a projected schedule that helps when sending resupply boxes or booking a hotel room.
🥾 Know miles and days to the next town
Quickly see how long each stretch is and how much food you'll need to buy.
📦 Plan your resupplies without doing the math
No need to calculate miles and days while standing in a grocery store.
🔄 Adjust your schedule anytime
Update your pace or town departure dates and the planner recalculates everything automatically.
📱 Plan at home and adjust while on trail
The spreadsheet is ready to use on both desktop and mobile.
Perfect if you want to:
Plan a northbound PCT thru-hike
Figure out your resupply strategy
Estimate food carries between towns
Keep a clear overview of the trail, while remaining flexible
Not ideal if:
You prefer completely spontaneous hiking
You're planning a southbound hike (yet)
