The Pacific Crest Trail

The Pacific Crest Trail is a trail that runs 2650 km from the Mexican border to Canada through the mountains of California, Oregon and Washington. This book contains a complete set of detailed maps and route descriptions divided into 101 sections. With information for planning a short excursion or a trek in stages. Seasons PCT is designed to be hiked when it is snow free; Southern California is best in spring or fall and the High Sierra, Northern California, Oregon and Washington are best from late June to early October. The access centers are San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle or Vancouver, which are all about 50 miles west of the trail. It is a carefully designed but deserted path, often far from the access road and it will be necessary to carry food for several days; there is also little accommodation, so camping will be necessary. California's High Sierra with Mount Whitney, the John Muir Trail and Yosemite National Park; Crater Lake in Oregon; the towering volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains: Lassen Peak, Mount Shasta, the Three Sisters, Mount Washington, Mount Jefferson, Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier and Glacier Peak.
