Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington

The PCT’s #1 Guide for More Than 45 Years


First published in 1974, The Pacific Crest Trail, Vol. 2, Oregon & Washington quickly established itself as the book trekkers could not do without. Now thoroughly updated and redesigned, Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington starts at the California-Oregon border and guides you to the edge of Canada. It winds past rivers, peaks, forests, meadows, fascinating geological formations, and other natural wonders—such as Mount Hood, Mount Rainier, and Glacier Peak.
