One Hundred Mile Summers: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada

by Eleanor Guilford

The story of a woman backpacker's journey from Mexico to Canada (or from the Mexican border to the Canadian border) on the 2,638 mile Pacific Crest Trail. The story includes many snowstorms in southern California in May, resident's pet dogs deciding to tag along, river crossings where bridges had been washed out, being awakened at night by the voices of mysterious animals, and being tracked down by a Ranger with a message to meet a hiking friend who volunteered to accompany her to celebrate the completion of the trail journey at Monument 79 at the Canadian border.

This books was written by my dear great-aunt Eleanor, the younger sister of my grandmother. Always traveling the world on some grand adventure, just last spring she went up the Amazon River on a long anticipated cruise.
