Pacific Crest Trail Guide by Cicerone

Guidebook to the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), an epic 2,650 mile hike from California's Mexican border to Canada's British Columbia.

One of the world's best hikes, the route passes through California, Oregon and Washington State, taking in the Mojave desert, High Sierras, Cascades and countless more wild mountains.

The PCT is a well-engineered trail taking the hiker easily through the mountains but it is a wilderness trail, often a long way from road access, and you will need to carry food for several days; there is little accommodation so you will need to camp or bivouac.
