About Hiking The Pacific Crest Trail: Washington: Section
Product Description • Inspirational full-color guides with over 150 color photographs in each Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Washington is written by Tami Asars. Tami grew up in western Washington playing in the North Cascades. She teaches classes on backpacking basics, lightweight backpacking, and more. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) meanders from the California-Mexico border north to the border of Washington and Canada. It’s a rigorous trail, first envisioned in 1926 and now encompassing some 2,650 miles. Each volume of this new series focuses on section-by-section pieces of the PCT and includes the following features: • Trail sections of 4- to 10-night trips • Detailed camp-to-camp route descriptions • Easy-to-understand route maps and elevation profiles • Details on specific campsites and most-reliable water sources • Road access to and from various trail sections • Info on permits, hazards, restrictions, and more • Alternate routes and connecting trails • Clear references to the PCT’s established system of section letters, designating trail segments from Mexico to Canada―so you can easily cross-reference the guides with other PCT resources • Key wilderness sights along the way • Suggested itineraries Review "Tami Asars is quickly becoming one of the Northwest's cherished guidebook writers. Her latest work will serve as the definitive source for anyone considering hiking Washington's section of the Pacific Crest Trail." --Dutch Franz, Editor, Seattle Backpackers Magazine "When I was younger, my biggest dream in life was to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I was never able to figure out how to tackle that audacious goal, and life moved on, and I set that dream aside. But now Tami Asars has come out with a unique new book about how to hike the Washington part of the trail in smaller chunks (it's called section hiking), and it s got me thinking about how to hike the PCT in more manageable pieces over a longer period of my life." --The Hiker Mama About the Author TAMI ASARS is a three generation Washingtonian who calls the North Cascades home.
