### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One Of The Best PCT Books Ever
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019*

I loved this book, the hike was in 1982. Chris knew his stuff, having lived in the PNW all my life, it was wonderful to have someone who knew the trees, flowers, mountain descriptions and appreciate every part of his hike from the desert, deep  woods and high mountains. His hike was not about the mileage, but the total experience and appreciation for the wild. I loved it.He was all about the trail itself.

    What I didn't like as well was the seemingly continuous point to point ...
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015*

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.

    a fun and very informative book on the PCT
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2015*

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.
