A Helpful Guide For Section Hiking The PCT In Wa,
By Sarah Kirkconnell "Author of Freezer Bag Cook... (Maple Valley, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of the Pacific Crest Trail: Washington: 55 Hikes (Paperback)
A simple and easy to use guide book for Washington State's section of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). It gives a good overlay for dayhikes as well as getting in shorter sections of the 500+ miles of the trail here.
Used in conjunction with maps and books such as the PCT Atlas (for finding water sources) you will enjoy this book.

Not what I was looking for.,
By Jim Morrison (Hansville, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of the Pacific Crest Trail: Washington: 55 Hikes (Paperback)
I have done a few sections of the PCT and am probably going to do Stevens Pass to Snoqualmie Pass next summer. I hoped this book would give a good description of that section but I don't think it did. It split the section into two and did it from South to North, which didn't help me much. (For example elevation gains were useless). I am certain there is some valuable information in this book, but I didn't think it was presented as well as it should be. I am guessing there are much better books on the same subject that include profiles and/or topo maps and detail information on camp sites, water supplies and other vital information one needs when planning more that a day on the PCT. 2.5 stars, but not quite 3. The edition I have was printed in 2000 so also needs updating. With so much info on line about the PCT I don't find this a valuable reference any longer.

This review is from: The Best of the Pacific Crest Trail: Washington: 55 Hikes (Paperback)
I still like the idea of this book, and the cover photo isn't bad, but the book itself is yet to materialize. I ordered it a month ago from goHastings and haven't seen hide nor hair of it. Dang the luck!
