Book Reviews of Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon and Washington

Book Review: 2006 update available
Summary: 4 Stars

I have not hiked the PCT yet, but plan too. My only complaint with this entire series is that the maps do not have GPS markers on the maps; I believe the PCT Atlas series does this.

Anyways the point of the post is to indicate that Wilderness Press has 2 PDF files available which provide updates/erratas to this book as of 2006. The "Search for 'PCT'" method does not work, but if you contact them they will email the PDFs to you.

Summary of Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon and Washington

Winner of the Classic Award in the 2008 National Outdoor Book Awards!

Stretching over 2600 miles from the Mexican to the Canadian border, the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) passes through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the U.S. Each year hundreds of hikers attempt to complete the entire trail while thousands of others take it in smaller sections. The Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington is the only detailed, comprehensive guide to the northern portion of the PCT. Designed for thru hikers, section hikers, and day hikers it describes the official route, occasional alternate routes, side trips, and resupply points. The new edition contains a 9-page update, including the rerouted portion of the trail in Washington between Indian Pass and Miners Creek.

  • Mile-by-mile guidance for any PCT hiker
  • Two-color topographic maps showing every portion of the Oregon/Washington PCT
  • Trail history, including information on the region's natural history, geology, and ecology
  • Pre-hike information supplies, permits, and planning tips

Whether you're planning to hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail through Oregon and Washington, or just a section or two, this is an essential guide to the sometimes complicated logistics and navigation of a long-distance expedition. The beginning chapters provide planning basics: post-office addresses for mailing food and supplies, suggestions on when to hike which sections and what to bring, and an introduction to the geology, flora, and fauna of the region. But the heart of the guide comprises 12 chapters of trail specifics between Highway 96 in northern California and Highway 3 in British Columbia. Each section begins and ends at a highway--often at or near a town, resort, or park. Chapters contain topographic maps, prehike information (attractions to be on the lookout for, declination settings, elevation and mileage points, permit regulations, and availability of supplies), along with detailed information on navigating your way along the trail. So if you're packing up your rucksack for a modest PCT excursion or the full-bore trek, this is one item you can't afford to leave out.
