Pacific Dream by John Illig
Description
Read John Illig's humorous and honest narrative account of his 2,160 mile hike up the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, through California, Oregon and Washington. Writes Author D.W. St. John: "Unflinchingly honest, vividly told, funny, true, fascinating, exciting - - Pacific Dream is all these things. It's the best book I've read this year and I'll never forget it. John writes with candor that's shockingly fresh and real. His prose is clear as the water in one of the rushing streams he fords. It's as if I walked the trail with him, and I loved every step." Writes the Maine Sunday Telegram: "A fascinating, thought-provoking book."
In addition to through-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (1999), John Illig also hiked the Appalachian Trail (1993), and the Continental Divide Trail (2005). He wrote narrative accounts of those other two hikes, as well, and his trilogy exists as the only one of its kind.
