0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What I didn't like as well was the seemingly continuous point to point ... By Al Stone Actually, three and a half stars. I have a lot of respect for Townsend, who is an accomplished long distance hiker. Townsend loves wilderness and solitude and as such his writing excludes much of the social adventures that have become the center of so many hiking narratives today. He also believes in the integrity of the route and you’ll not find him skipping sections, hitchhiking and that type of thing. This book is about his 1982 PCT thru hike. There are parts of it that inspire and the technique of blending trail narrative with photography adds much to the volume. What I didn’t like as well was the seemingly continuous point to point guidebook type description… I hiked uphill one mile to Angel’s Rest, then downhill to Happy Valley on this hot day, etc. Long distance hiking is repetitive, but a lot of the text was apparently transcribed from his journal and it makes for some slow and unexciting reading. Notwithstanding, there is much to enjoy here.

By Unknown I am rereading this book for second time, and I have really enjoyed it. My copy is the kindle edition without pictures, and I would have gladly paid more for one with the images. The maps are there though, and I sometimes google images of the locations discussed in the book.Chris townsend is my favorite writer about all things backpacking.If you go to his blog, Chris Townsend Outdoors, he talks about the gear he used during his PCT walk and what gear he would use today.This book is a great read.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. a fun and very informative book on the PCT By LawMan I have read many books on thru hiking the PCT, and have hiked much of the PCT in Washington state where I lived and roamed for 37 years. In fact, I have read three such books as Townsend's book "Rattlesnakes . . .." In the past month. I read the recent book by an Aussie - I found that one boring, self-centered and I was not convinced he even hiked the whole trail - his descriptions of the Washington trail were skimpy and misleading.This book by Townsend I loved. This guy is enamored with trail hiking and seems to even like the hardships of thru backpacking, and he has a singular sensitivity to the flora, fauna and the geography of the trail, and a love for fellow hikers and the humanity with whom he came into contact. He makes it interesting for couch potatoes who will never set foot on the trail. His narrative was fun and detailed for one written 30 years after this walks. Of the possibly 12 such narratives I have read, this was one of the best. Great job Chris. Keep on trucking the trails.
