The Pacific Crest Trail

The Portland Oregonian newspaper's Jeff Baker puts the spotlight on Pacific Crest Trail. 

"The popularity of Cheryl Strayed's memoir"Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" has led to increased awareness and use of the trail that runs from Canada to Mexico through Washington, Oregon and California. There are more thru-hikers -- people who, like Strayed, attempt to hike the entire trail -- and more day and overnight users of this incredible national resource."

Wild is entertaining and it's a good movie.
