Hiker Heaven

High desert respite for Pacific Crest Trail hikers

Hiker Heaven

We're Jeff & Donna ("L-Rod") Saufley, trail hosts in Agua Dulce, CA.  2009 will be our 13th season hosting PCT hikers, and we are eagerly anticipating meeting all our new friends! 

Hiker Heaven is at mile 454.4 nobo from Campo, at the end of section D and start of Section E.  The official PCT register is here, and our garage serves as the mail pick-up for hikers in this section.  You can send mail out from here as well.

In addition to being the mail drop, we provide accommodations, showers, laundry, transportation, and tons of information to hikers about the local area.  High-speed wireless internet access and telephones are available for you. There is no charge for any of the services we provide.  

Hiker Heaven is open for hikers each year from April 1 through June 30, and in the fall (for southbound thru-hikers only).  Hikers may stay a maximum of two nights.  There is a 50 hiker per night limit on a first-come, first-service basis.  This is generally applicable only during the peak of our northbound season, from mid-May to early June.

As to who is welcome, it's quite simple:  anyone with two or four legs hiking the PCT.  We can accommodate and welcome dogs, horses, llamas, and goats.  We've been told that a stop at Hiker Heaven is memorable part of the PCT experience, so make a stay here a part of your plans!
