Thanks

The author has been unable to re-hike the PCT for this updated edition, but has relied on extensive notes provided by David Jordan who hiked the trail in 2016 and the comprehensive information available on the internet (see Appendix B). The author and publisher would like to thank David for his invaluable contribution to the book and for his article on the challenges of the Pacific Crest Trail, which appeared in the January 2017 edition of Cicerone Extra.
