It is sponsored by ALDHA West (American Long Distance Hikers Association) and we are actively seeking nominations for 2014. The awardee will be announced and honored at this year’s ALDHA West gathering to be held in Washington in September. Many “famous” PCT trail angels have received this award but there are many more angels who help hikers year after year who deserve a big ’thank you" from the hiking community. Please consider helping identify the next person to receive this award.
