This essential PCT guidebook helps readers plan a day hike, weekend trip, or thru-hike from Yosemite National Park's Tuolumne Meadows to the Oregon border.
Since he was six years old, Jordan Summers has had more fun sleeping on rock, snow, and dirt than any one person should be allowed, spending absurd amounts of time in mountains, forests, canyons, and deserts. Jordan's newest guidebooks, Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California and Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon and Washington, are the result of Summers' 4,000-plus miles trekking this national treasure. Jordan's passion for the outdoors and love for the Sierra Nevada range combined to propel his motivation in writing guidebooks: "to help hikers of all abilities get out there, have a great time out there, leave no trace there, and come home safely from there." Summers is an alumnus of the National Outdoor Leadership School, a Leave No Trace trainer, and a NOLS-WMI Wilderness First Responder. Jordan lives in the Sierra Nevada foothill town of Pioneer, California, and is a volunteer for the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
