Everything from trail markers, weather challenges, and the stories behind popular toponyms to the songs stuck in a hiker's head, thru-hiker trail names, and food consumed will be addressed, making this an ideal gift for any outdoor enthusiast."Josh Powell's The Pacific Crest Trail: A Visual Compendium is the coolest, most fun book we've seen about the PCT, and that includes Wild by Cheryl Strayed, which, while a blockbuster, was not always fun.
