Each year the PCTA, "Pacific Crest Trail Association", holds its annual membership meeting in conjuction with a trail festival. The locale of the festivities rotates between the three states encompassed by the Pacific Crest Trail, Washington, Oregon, and California. This year's event was held in Portland Oregon, and with the introduction of a new event called, "Trailfest Shenanigans" the festival was well attended by former and future hikers.
