The Pacific Crest Trail is most often hiked in small segments or as dayhikes. Now, for the first time, there is a guide specifically for the PCT dayhiker. The trail descriptions are broken into sections short enough for dayhikes, with complete details on trail access, mileage, permits, and directions to all the trailheads. Full of useful information and facts, the book also helps the reader understand why so many people take the effort to hike this long trail in its entirety.
