    About this ebook

    The Pacific Crest Trail was designated as one of the first National Scenic Trails way back in 1968. As it traverses the "high road" from Mexico to Canada, incredible views are not only commonplace but also uniquely diverse, because the trail connects six of North America's seven eco-zones. The PCT's familiar, well-worn path is a special place for hikers from all walks of life on walks of all lengths and for all reasons.

    Instead of guiding you through the arduous task of hiking the entire PCT, the goal of this book is to help you plan trips that incorporate hiking on the PCT in Oregon, whether you have just an afternoon to spare or you want to escape for the entire weekend.

    Carefully edited maps and elevation graphs generated with GPS data collected by the author on the trail will help make your trip a success.

    This cargo-pocket guide offers author-tested advice to help you make the most of your time away from civilization, however long (or short) that stretch may be.

    Author

    Paul Gerald

    Paul Gerald grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and still has an NASL Memphis Rogues pennant somewhere. He had a very brief career as a decent goalkeeper until around the age of fifteen, at which point his strong tendency toward laziness kicked in and he decided to write about sports instead of playing them.When he got to Southern Methodist University, he started writing in sports for the student newspaper. He eventually had jobs at the Dallas Times Herald, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the Memphis Flyer before fleeing the southern summers for Portland, Oregon in 1996.Since then, he has written sports, travel, and outdoors articles for publications all over the country and is the author of five guidebooks for Menasha Ridge Press, including Portland's best-selling hiking guide, "60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland." He has guided hiking trips in Oregon, California, Colorado, Italy, and Nepal.Along the way, since writing never really pays the bills, he has also worked for nonprofits, restaurants, tour companies, an insurance company, Radio Cab Company in Portland, and on Alaskan fishing boats. And that's just what he can remember.Since his first English soccer game in 2011, he has seen well over 100 contests at 60+ different grounds. Back at home, he's a Portland Timbers season ticket holder and a dues-paying member of the Timbers Army; he hates nothing in life more than the last ten minutes of a game when the green and gold are ahead by one goal. His neighbors in section 217 at Providence Park can attest to this.
