Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Mexico to Canada

De: Bruce Nelson

Narrado por: Bruce "Buck" Nelson

One April morning I left the Mexico border and walked north on the Pacific Crest Trail. For five months I hiked through the California desert, the snows of the Sierra Nevada, and the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington. My goal was to succeed in an epic challenge: to hike 2,650 miles and reach Canada before the October snows.

It was an unforgettable summer of sunrises, river crossings, and high mountain passes; of physical and mental challenges and peaceful wilderness camps under the stars. In the fall colors of September I reached the border of Canada. This is the story of my thru-hike.

So fun!

I have read two of Bucks stories. I come away truly envious of his adventures. I find myself wondering what my trail name would be. I can almost feel the shin splints as he hikes along and I try to keep up with he and the others.

Being a partial pct hiker I figured you would mention saw tooth or Indian heaven wilderness. (My local area) ah I am sure there are too many beautiful landmarks to name them all. Thank you for a great story that aloud me to escape work and be on the trail.

Big Adventure

I liked the story. The author would have been better off with virtual voice than self-narrated in this instance.

Easy listening to a good adventure

Good account of his trek along the PCT. Pretty descriptive but kept the story moving at a good pace. Quick listen and well worth it. Makes me excited to explore the sections of the trail near me.

Great PC Trail book

Great recounting of this hike! Just enough personal detail, introduction to other characters on the trail , natural commentary, and factual info. I've enjoyed it twice now!

Well written but poorly narrated

The author’s rapid-fire, monotone narration, devoid of the natural vocal inflections that normally signal the end of a sentence or a change in subject, makes this a VERY tough listen. I had to slow it down to 80% just to make it tolerable. But there seem to be other reviewers who love his narrative style, so anyone thinking about adding this audiobook to their library should first listen to the sample.
