The Pacific Crest Trail

di Joshua M. Powell (Autore)

Sasquatch Books, 2021

The Pacific Crest Trail as you've never seen it before! A visual feast for the senses, this highly designed paperback showcases the PCT through clever infographics, modern illustration, and insightful text. The book captures both the grandeur of the West Coast as well as the tiniest things that a thru-hiker notices and experiences during a 140-day trek. Through the written word, graphic design, and illustration, The Pacific Crest Trail: A Visual Compendium conveys the beauty and the beastliness of a 2,650-mile wilderness hike from Mexico to Canada. The author chronicles the PCT through infographics about the trail and the thru-hikers' experience, and includes arresting illustrations of the landscape and minutiae of the trail. Everything from trail markers, weather challenges, and the stories behind popular toponyms to the songs stuck in a hiker's head, thru-hiker trail names, and food consumed will be addressed, making this an ideal gift for any outdoor enthusiast. "Josh Powell's The Pacific Crest Trail: A Visual Compendium is the coolest, most fun book we've seen about the PCT, and that includes Wild by Cheryl Strayed, which, while a blockbuster, was not always fun. Powell's book is a mix of infographics, charts, illustrations, and the kinds of observations that only come from long days on the trail. You don't have to be a thru-hiker to appreciate it, either. Are you human? Do ya walk? Buy the book. Buy it for everyone you know. It's that good." -- Adventure Journal
