Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2774050, member: 7894"] Read the book and watched the movie. I thought both were interesting. Pretty sure it lead to a surge in people attempting the PCT like Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" did to climbing Everest. It's notable she didn't get anywhere close to completing the approx. 2600 mile trail. Skipped parts of California and stopped at the Oregon/Washington border, which if you're doing the PCT means you missed most of the best of it. And no offense to East Coasters or the AT intended, but it can't hold a candle to the scenery the PCT offers. If you're gonna do a long north/south thru hike across the country, skip the AT and do the PCT or CDT. [/QUOTE]
