Pacific Crest Trail Atlas, 2nd Edition includes:
Full-Color Topographic Maps
The first full-color annotated maps for the Pacific Crest Trail!
The Pacific Crest Trail is (for the most part) well tread and well maintained. But, unlike it’s sister the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail is not well-signed, making it a challenge to navigate.
You will find surprisingly few blazes and markings along the 2,650 mile route, which runs from Mexico to Canada across three states, intersecting (and sometimes sharing a route with with) jeep roads and other trails, traversing snow fields, crossing swollen creeks, glaciers, washes and other obstructions.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Topographic Maps show the entire route of the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail complete with hundreds of annotations, identifying the locations of important landmarks and milestones (such as water sources, campsites and road/trail junctions) to help you identify trail features, track your progress and avoid getting lost.
Elevation Profiles
Prepare for big climb and descents on the Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest Trail follows the crest of several mountain ranges for most of it’s length from Mexico to Canada. The elevation on the trail varies from near sea level to over 13,000 feet.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Elevation Profiles show where the trail climbs and descends in an easy-to-read graph. You will know when to expect steep climbs, long descents or moderate grades, to help you better plan your hike.
Data Tables
Track how many miles you’ve hiked on the Pacific Crest Trail
Once you start hiking the Pacific Crest Trail you will often wonder how many miles you have traveled. Since there are so few signs and markers on the trail a data book is necessary to help you track your progress.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Data Tables provide northbound and southbound mileage for major on-trail landmarks, distances between points, campsite and water information, additional tips and navigation advice.
Easy-To-Read “At A Glance” Page Layout
No more flipping back and forth to find the information you need!
Most guidebooks scatter information all over the place, requiring you to flip back and forth from one page to the next to find the information you’re looking for, then cross-reference it with some other piece of data in another part of the book.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas gives you, in a single glance, all of the information you will need to hike approximately 15 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. When you reach the end of a segment, just turn the page to see the next 15 miles.
Resupply Guide
Find the best places to rest, resupply and send your maildrops
If you are planning a thru-hike or other long distance hike on the Pacific Crest Trail you will need to stop occasionally in trail towns to rest and resupply.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Resupply Guide lists the most popular towns and outposts near the Pacific Crest Trail, how to reach them from the trail and which goods and services you can expect to find at each one.
Town Maps
Quicky locate the goods and services you need in trail towns
Trail towns offer a place to buy supplies, eat restaurant food, have a shower, sleep in a bed, relax and recharge before starting the next leg of your journey.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Town Maps show where to find essential goods and services in trail towns, so you can do your town chores quickly (shopping, laundry, mail, etc.) and have time left over for rest and recuperation.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas Fits In Your Pocket And Weighs Just 5 Ounces!
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas is the only guidebook designed for ultralight backpackers. Each ultralight volume measures 5” x 8” x 1/4”, includes maps and information for approximately 500 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, printed in full-color from cover to cover, and weighs just 5 ounces!
You won’t have to deal with big, floppy trail maps blowing around in the wind and never folding back up the way they came or thick, heavy guidebooks that obscure the essential information inside hundreds of pages of rambling prose.
Pacific Crest Trail Atlas gives you the information you need to navigate the Pacific Crest Trail in a format that is lightweight and easy to use, so you can spend less time poring over maps and flipping through guidebooks …and more time enjoying your hike.
