Hike The Pacific Crest Trail Using An Ultralight Guide Book That Fits In Your Pocket, Gives You All Of The Maps And Information You Need, And Weighs Four Times Less Than “Traditional” Maps And Guide Books!

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.
