Waterproof and tear-resistant topographic map.
The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) traverses lush forests on volcanic soils as it leaves the Cascade Range and enters the Sierra Nevada. The hiking season in Northern California runs from May to early November, with persistent snow at higher elevations until June. Summer can be marked by extreme heat and scarce water sources, especially on the arid section of Hat Creek Rim.
Highlights:
- Bucks Lake and Crags Wilderness Areas
- McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Parks and Castle Crags
- Lassen Volcanic National Park
The PCT stretches 4,265 km from Canada to Mexico, crossing 6 national parks, 25 national forests, and 48 wilderness areas, the volcanic Cascade Mountains, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada, and the deserts of the Mojave and Sonora.
Each topographic map guide offers:
✅ Detailed maps (scale approx. 1 inch = 1 mile)
✅ Elevation profiles with distances between campsites and points of interest
✅ Information on supplies, safety, and GPS navigation
✅ Compact, durable, and waterproof format, more practical than folded maps
Ideal for all hikers, from the casual walker to the thru-hiker covering the entire trail.
