Description
Pilgrimage to the Edge details a four year odyssey hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with unique insights gained from thirty-three years of public service. It showcases the hard-won fight to preserve America’s public lands and the diversity of people who continue to use and work them. It vividly displays the contemporary challenges of caring for our nation’s national forests from a field perspective while weaving over a century of history and culture into a 2,650 mile trek. Finally it gives clear advice on how to hike this world-class national scenic trail in a series of easy stages instead of in one continuous trek.
