## What is Nature Steps?

Nature Steps: The PCT turns your daily walking into a virtual thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail — 2,653 miles from the Mexican border to Canada, through the deserts and granite of California, the volcanoes of Oregon, and the wild North Cascades of Washington.

Every step you take in the real world, counted by Apple Health, carries you north along a faithful recreation of the trail. There are no shortcuts — the trail is walked in the miles your own feet carry.

But this is more than a step tracker. It's a naturalist's journey.

A FIELD JOURNAL OF WILD THINGS
As you cross each ecological zone, you record the species that live there — 102 in all, from the golden eagle and mountain lion to the whitebark pine and the avalanche lily — as warm, collectible plates in your own Field Journal.

A GUIDE IN YOUR POCKET
Walk with the voice of John Muir — alongside Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and Henry David Thoreau — through 365 Daily Field Notes, real reflections on the natural world. Your Journey feed reveals the geology, natural history, and wonders of every landscape as you reach it.

EARN YOUR MILES

BUILD A DAILY HABIT

ON YOUR WRIST

BEAUTIFULLY MADE

• Warm, hand-crafted art in a single storybook style
• Fully localized in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese

Lace up. The Range of Light is waiting.
