Beschrijving
Van de uitgever
The USA has several long-distance hiking trails, of which the Pacific Crest Trail is probably the longest. Stretching from just east of San Diego northward through California, Oregon, and Washington states to the Canadian border, this hiking trail is not for the faint of heart! It follows the crest, or high portion of various mountain chains, passes through several national parks, and ends up in Canada's Manning Provincial Park. This is an over-view map, not a practical day-to-day usable map, but is the only map to show the entire trail. There is a proviso. For security reasons, the trail portion between Canada and the USA has been blocked. This is a shame, because one of the most interesting segments is the portion of the trail just south of the Canadian border, with elevations exceeding 6,000 feet. This means that anyone hiking this portion of trail can start at Hwy 20 in Washington State, but must return to their starting point. Similarly, those starting at Manning Park Lodge can head south to the border area, but must return to their starting point. Furthermore, there is no convenient legal crossing point; the closest being the Sumas crossing to the west. Regardless, this 1,600 mile/2,000km long trail is an unparalleled adventure in outdoors experience.
