What People Are Saying

Getting the ride to the Terminus and then to CLEEF was the best decision, to reduce my stress, which allowed me to focus on the hike.”

- Joaquin Franco (“Whispers” - PCT 2023)

“I really like the advice about the trail you provided and the history of the area. My only comment is to provide more of it!”

— Kelly Groen (“Batman” - PCT Class of 2022)

“Your shuttle was a clean, comfortable and easy way to start my ‘22 thru. There was a wonderful energy talking to other hikers also starting the trail while we rode to the Terminus.”

— Will Kriewald (“Meat Hands” - PCT 2022)

“I feel it was such a great experience. The 6 of us that you drove to the Terminus, we have kept in touch!”

— Kristie al-rashidi (PCT 2022 section hiker)

I had a positive experience and was glad your service was available. One less logistic to work out.”

- Tracie Dean (“Bougie” - PCT 2023)

“I think the trip was great. I was worried about the cost originally, thinking it was high and I didn’t have a choice, but after learning how far it (the drive) was and where you were stopping, I thought it was a great deal. It was more than just a shuttle service…”

— Julie Fleming (“Hot Hands” - PCT 2023 section hiker)

“Amazing. Best deal on the PCT. Easiest way to start the PCT. Excellent information. I highly recommend them 10 out of 10”

— Frank M. (PCT 2023)

“Super organized, efficient and so friendly!”

— Rachel Kessel (“Torch” - PCT 2022)

“I found it (the price) to be very fair. Just Paul’s shared experiences was worth the price. An Uber driver wouldn’t know jack squat about the trail.”

— Doreen Blanding (“TP”- PCT Class of 2022)

“I can’t imagine a better, less stressful way to get to the trailhead, and the tips I gleaned from the evening talk were of use long after I left CLEEF”

— Don (PCT class of 2023)

“I thought your service was amazing and I don’t have any ideas for improvement. Thanks so much for the ride and when I go back to thru-hike again I will definitely use ya’ll. I also recommend your shuttle to anyone who will listen.”

— Alex Giltz (“Snatch”- PCT 2022)

“The whole experience was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better PCT start…EVER!””
