Pacific Crest Trail: Footsteps and Photographs

Pacific Crest Trail: Footsteps and Photographs follows the boot-busting journey of an unnamed thru-hiker on one of the world's greatest scenic trails - tracing over 2,600 miles across the western ridges of the United States. Rich descriptions and authentically vibrant photographs transports readers through the towering evergreen landscapes of Washington, the mystical beauty of Oregon, and the rugged, epic, and inhospitable terrains of California's vastly different Trail sections. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) belongs to no one single hiker, yet each traveler's experience is deeply personal. This book is not meant to capture and share any one particular hiker's experience but rather provide a visual environment for past and future PCT hikers, as well as nature and adventure enthusiasts' imaginations to fill in the landscape with their own memories.
