My PCT Experience
The Pacific Crest Trail is a continuous~2650 mile long trail that is routed primarily along the spine of mountains on the west coast of the US. This following is my account of a through hike (hiking the entire length of the trail in one season) of the PCT during 1999. The Pacific Crest Trail Association publishes a 2-volume set of guidebooks which contain topographic maps and written descriptions of the trail. These guidebooks split the trail into 29 sections identified by letter (California "A" through "Q", and Oregon/Washington "A" through "L"). This web site is organized the same way. Each section contains pictures and text for that section, just click on the links below!...
The pictures are all different sizes, and they're all in .jpg format. Click on the thumbnails to see the pictures, use your browser's "back" button to return to the text.
I've tried to scan the better photos at higher resolution.
