 | The Pacific Crest Trail
A Hiker's Companion
Karen Berger and Daniel R. Smith
A narrative field guide to the unique plants, animals, history, and landscapes of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, by GORP.com's own Karen Berger. This guide to the ultimate long-distance hiking trail begins where other trail guides leave off. The authors, Karen Berger and her husband Daniel Smith, describe each section of the trail in detail and recommend the best day hikes and short backpacks from each trailhead. They describe the natural, geological, and human history of the region, and in a thousand other ways enrich the experiences of the journey.
Together, Berger and Smith have logged more than 12,000 miles on the PCT. They draw on this vast experience to give tested advice on trip planning, gear and safety, seasonal considerations, trailheads and resupplies, permits, and much more.
"An excellent reference for anyone wishing to enjoy this national scenic trail to its fullest, be it on a day-hike, backpacking trip, or the ultimate thru-hike."
—Robert Ballou, executive director, PCT Association
