PREFACE
Potest quia posse videntur – He can because he thinks he can.
When you reach Manning Park at the end of the Pacific Crest Trail you will be tired and dirty – but you will feel great. You will have had the experience of a lifetime and be a changed person. You will have an intense feeling of personal satisfaction. You will be ready for other big ventures in life. You will have learnt not to give up and you will continue to feel great.
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is the world’s longest continuous footpath, running from the Mexican border to the Canadian border through California, Oregon and Washington. It is estimated that about 500 hikers, known as thru’-hikers, attempt a continuous hike of the entire PCT each year; of those perhaps forty per cent succeed. A much larger number, who hike short or long sections of the PCT, are known as section-hikers. This comprehensive but concise guide is intended to provide all the information and maps thru’-hikers or section-hikers will need to hike the PCT.
