Join us as we welcome Philip Kramer to Browsers on Tuesday, June 5 at 7:00 PM. He will talk about his new book from Mountaineers Books, Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
THE PACIFIC CREST NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL stretches roughly 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada passing through rich and varied terrain in California, Oregon, and Washington. While many hikers attempt to cover the distance in a single, epic journey, most of us can’t take off three months—or more!—to go hiking.
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California breaks down the region’s more than 740 miles of the PCT into shorter backpacking trips. Whether you have a couple of days, a week, or even a bit more time, you’ll find a stunning route that is right for you. Author and PCT thru-hiker Philip Kramer details everything you need to know, including access points, mileages between campsites, and the best places to stake your tent. Whether you’re crossing the dramatic landscapes of Yosemite National Park, wandering the forests and volcanic terrain in Lassen National Forest, exploring the shores of sparkling alpine lakes in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, or closing in on the Oregon border, Kramer’s got your back (though you still have to carry your own backpack).
This unparalleled guide has all the information you need to tackle the PCT section by section or simply explore the Northern California portion of the route at your leisure. Planning a PCT thru-hike? See inside for a list of companion guides to Southern California, Oregon, and Washington.
