The PCT's #1 Guide for More Than 45 Years
First published in 1973, The Pacific Crest Trail, Vol. 1, California
quickly established itself as the book trekkers could not do without.
Now thoroughly updated and redesigned, Pacific Crest Trail: Southern

beautiful backcountry. It winds past deserts, scales high peaks, and
cools off in Sierra lakes.
