What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A thru-hiker collects friends, memories—and lots and lots of observations—along the Pacific Crest Trail”
—Seattle Times
“A joy to page through, even if you have no intention of leaving your couch, packed with fun personal hiking stats (“135 chocolate bars” eaten), maps, wildlife and insect guides, trail notes, must-see landmarks, and even a page of vintage beer cans found on the trail.”
—Portland Monthly
“The Pacific Crest Trail: A Visual Compendium is aesthetically pleasing, to say the least. The photos, colorful graphics, lists and anecdotes that fill its pages chronicle Powell’s hike in about as much detail as humanly possible.”
—Spokesman-Review
