Preface

WELCOME TO THE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL! One of America’s National Scenic Trails, the PCT runs 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada along the mountainous backbone of California, Oregon, and Washington. This trail boasts the greatest elevation change and the most diverse scenery of any of the National Scenic Trails.

Each year, roughly 500 thru-hikers venture forth with the intent of hiking the entire PCT, leaving behind jobs and loved ones for the five-month journey. Several excellent books, including the three-volume Pacific Crest Trail series from Wilderness Press, help these hardy folks find their way.
