Following the successful The Appalachian Trail, and New York Times bestseller America's Great Hiking Trails, The Pacific Crest Trail is the official book on one of America's most iconic hiking trails, and is published in conjunction with the Pacific Crest Trail Association. With a foreword by Cheryl Strayed, maps, rarely seen archival photos and historical ephemera, and stunning contemporary photography, this photo- and information-packed book is an inspirational bucket list for everyone who wants to get out on the trail--from day hiker to thru-hiker.

The Pacific Crest Trail explores highlights of this iconic wilderness footpath with more than 250 spectacular contemporary images, historical photos and documents from the PCTA archives, and detailed maps. Readers can experience the trail as if their boots were on the 2,650-mile path.
