The first shipment of our book Pacific Crest Trail: A Journey in Photographs arrived! We opened the first box, pulled out a book, flipped slowly through the pages, and took a mental trip through the wilderness from Mexico to Canada. We were overjoyed to see our vision for the book realized. Order a beautiful book for yourself here:

We’re hard at work assembling boxes, signing and wrapping books, and printing mailing labels. If you pre-ordered a signed book, it will ship on Monday. When you receive your book, drop us a comment on the blog and let us know your thoughts.
Our PCT thru hike was an amazing adventure. Creating this book turned out to be an equally challenging and rewarding journey.

Thanks! This past year has been a whirlwind of new experiences for us. We are really excited to share the wilderness with a wider audience through the book.
The AT should be awesome. One day we want to have an adventure with you in the Boundary Waters too.

Thanks James! That’s exactly what we were hoping for with the book: to bring our journey into people’s homes so they can see the beauty of the wild places surrounding the trail.

I just received my copy and I’m overwhelmed with joy! I’m planning a PCT thru-hike this year and nothing has made me quite as excited as flipping through the pages of this book.
The massive amount of effort you have put into this really shows. The book flows very well. It’s well composed and thought out images are very inspiring.

Awesome, Eric! One of our major goals with the book is to inspire others, and we are so happy that’s the case for you. Have a great hike!

You did it! Congratulations on completing your book. I saw it today at PCTA. I just quickly flipped through it (it’s stunning!) and came home and immediately ordered 2 books – one for us and one for a gift. In May we are going to Madrid to visit a thru hiker we hosted in 2006. I was trying to think of a “host” gift for him (he is hosting my son & fiance) and as soon as I saw your book I knew I had found the perfect gift! We are anxious to get our copy so we can look through the whole book. And thank you for mentioning us in your thank you section. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you at our cabin. Enjoy your new adventures!

Thanks Peggy and Steve! We’re glad you were able to see the book in person because that’s the only way the full visual experience comes across. Thanks for ordering and supporting our adventures!
We’re grateful for your generosity during our hike, and very happy we can share the trail with you in a different way through the book. Between your work with PCTA and the help you give to thru hikers, you are stellar trail angels. All the best to you both.

Hi Chris and Anna,
I got your book yesterday. Amazing! I felt I was back on the trail… Enjoy your adventure on the AT. I’m planning a restart of the PCT April 19. The same day you left on. Perhaps it will bring me good luck.
Your trail buddy,

Hi Big Wuss! It’s wonderful that the book took you back to the trail. Even better that you will once again experience the PCT in person. We wish you the absolute best. April 19 is the perfect date. Happy trails!

I got your book and it is spectacular! Chris, you have a special eye for the changes in light at dusk and dawn. I also love the fantastic minimalist nature of the captions which perfectly let the landscapes engross you without necessarily needing to be named. But of course, I also looked for the places I know in Oregon and Washington. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Glad you so appreciate both the photos and the presentation, Denise! We worked hard to arrive at a design which featured the photos while providing enough information to put them in context. We’re very happy to share the adventure.

The book is beautiful! What can I do to get copies of it into bookstores? Do you have any way to get it into California bookstores? Maybe you could get Heyday Books to distribute it — they’re a nonprofit publisher in Berkeley but have their books in many stores as well as their website — very respected, they’ve been in business for over 30 years, and the guy to talk with, editor/publisher/founder and guru, is Malcolm Margolin. Send him a copy along with your phone call: Malcolm Margolin, Heyday Books, PO Box 9145, Berkeley, CA 94709; phone 510-549-3564; email: malcolm@heydaybooks.com .
