We meant to share this sooner, but after such a full and beautiful weekend, we needed a moment to regroup and catch our breath! Now that we’re finally coming up for air, we can truly say that PCT DAYS 2025 was one of the best yet!!!

Despite the looming rain clouds, this community proved unstoppable...ponchos, tarps, and smiles scared the rain off, as we ended up having a beautiful weekend! One morning even started with the sound of bagpipes drifting across Thunder Island (because why not set the tone with a little magic?). Our trail family reunited, saw new friendships forged, belly laughs in the beer garden, SO much gear was won, swapped & fixed, granola sampled, and stories shared long into the night. A few stats from this year's event:

✨ 114 sponsors and brands supporting the weekend.
✨ 4,700 of you showed up to Cascade Locks
✨ Together we donated 600 lbs of food + over $2,000 in cash to the Columbia Gorge Food Bank.
✨ Saturday’s raffle raised $8,926.42, split between , , and .

This festival doesn’t happen without the generosity of sponsors, the tireless work of our volunteer crew, and every single one of you who came out to celebrate the trail and each other. Thank you for reminding us what community looks like, rain or shine.

Save the date: August 14–15, 2026. We’ll see you back on Thunder Island. 🌤️

Sunglasses is pioneering a fundamental shift in eyewear design. Since launching the Ombraz Classic in 2018, Ombraz’ armless sunglasses have solved what frustrates people about sunglasses. Whether on the trail, river, slope, climbing wall, or single track, Ombraz can be worn comfortably and securely all day. With no arms to break and a cord to keep them in place. Additionally, with the help of their partners, ARC Restoration, Ombraz plants 20 mangrove trees for every pair of sunglasses sold. Ombraz is a certified BCorp and member of 1% For The Planet.

What Ombraz is saying about PCT Days 🎙️
"Nothing beats being at PCT Days surrounded by the vibrant thru-hiking community. We love giving hikers the chance to try on and experience the glory of armless sunglasses firsthand. There’s something special about when someone puts on a pair and gets why Ombraz are built for the trail."
