Pacific Crest Trail - section 25 has two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry backpacking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Being 239.8 miles long; it's longer than many trails. Now, this is roughly a 37-day backcountry hike, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. The total elevation difference for this backcountry trail is 3,706 feet which is a higher than average number. Different parts of this trail are at very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the trail. Keep in mind that this is a long wilderness hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip.
