Your hiking and backpacking guide to the PCT

In Oregon and Washington, the Pacific Crest Trail winds past rivers, peaks, forests, meadows, fascinating geological formations, and other natural wonders. Let our PCT gurus-Jordan Summers, Jeffrey P. Schaffer, and Andy Selters-help you with everything you need to know about this section of the 2,650-mile trail, which traverses 24 national forests, 37 wilderness areas, and 7 national parks. In Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington, you'll meet up with the PCT at the California border and hike, climb, descend, and switchback your way to the edge of Canada. Written by accomplished hikers who have each logged over 5,000 trail miles, this book helps you locate the trail and side trips, find water sources, and access resupply routes. Featuring a complete map of the route-in the form of 149 topographic strip maps-Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington provides rich descriptions of the trail, tips on planning your hike, and information on the region's natural history, geology, and ecology. You'll also get important details on camping, permits, and the best seasons to go. Plan a day hike, a weekend trip, or an ambitious thru-hike. Let's get going. The trail awaits!

"Since he was six years old, Jordan Summers has had more fun sleeping on rock, snow, and dirt than any one person should be allowed, spending absurd amounts of time in mountains, forests, canyons, and deserts. Jordan's newest guidebooks, Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California and Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon and Washington, are the result of Summers' 4,000-plus miles trekking this national treasure. Jordan's passion for the outdoors and love for the Sierra Nevada range combined to propel his motivation in writing guidebooks: ""to help hikers of all abilities get out there, have a great time out there, leave no trace there, and come home safely from there."" Summers is an alumnus of the National Outdoor Leadership School, a Leave No Trace trainer, and a NOLS-WMI Wilderness First Responder. Jordan lives in the Sierra Nevada foothill town of Pioneer, California, and is a volunteer for the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and the Pacific Crest Trail Association."
