Hiking The Triple Crown

The Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail-the so-called Triple Crown-have long captured the imaginations of thru-hikers and backpackers alike. For anyone dreaming of or planning a long-distance hiking endeavor, Hiking the Triple Crown is an must-have resource. With triple crown hiker Karen Berger as your expert guide, you'll find answers to your questions about long-distance hiking plus descriptions about what to expect along each of America's three longest trails. Starting with the easiest and the oldest, the Appalachian Trail, and graduating to the more variable Pacific Crest Trail and the more difficult Continental Divide Trail, Berger walks the reader through the unique landscapes, trail characteristics, challenges and strategies, and explores issues that fascinate and perplex hungry-information thru-hikers. She covers the logistics of how to hike these trails, skill requirements, seasonal factors, navigation and route finding, gear, weight issues, food, resupplying, mileage, safety, technique, etiquette, tips and more. Inspiring, encouraging and detailed, this guide is what you need for a successful long-distance hiking experience.
