The Pacific Crest Trail - A Hiker's Companion

Informationen zum Autor Karen Berger , author of the best-selling Hiking and Backpacking: A Trailside Guide , has hiked over 15,000 miles, including the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. Daniel R Smith is professor of history and political science at Iona College. Klappentext For many people, the Pacific Crest Trail is the ultimate long-distance hiking trail. Beginning in the dry valleys of southern California, it follows the crest of the snow-capped Sierras and ends in the ancient forests of Washington's Cascades. Along the way, national treasures such as Yosemite, Crater Lake, and Mount Rainier make this trail one of the premier hiking destinations in the world. But hiking is about much more than getting from A to B. Berger and Smith draw on their tremendous experience-together they have logged more than 12,000 miles on the PCT-to give tested advice to long-distance hikers on trip planning, gear and safety, seasonal considerations, trailheads and resupplies, permits, and much more.
