I'm researching both the PCT and AT with a view to deciding which one to thru-hike in 2015 or 2016. I've ordered two books on the AT but am struggling to decide what to buy for the PCT. I'm not looking for maps of the PCT at this stage, that will come later if/when I choose this option. From a search of the interwebs the best I've come up with is the Jeffrey Schaffer trilogy but as far as I can tell there hasn't been an updated version published since the 2003 originals - over 10 years ago! Is this still the best option for an overview of the trail? Or is there something more recent that is equally comprehensive?
Also if anyone has copies they want to sell (either Schaffer or a more recent publication) please let me know.
Thanks!
