PapaDen's Pacific Crest Trail Journey: Book Three is an unforgettable passage through the heart of the High Sierra. Starting at Walker Pass and climbing into Kennedy Meadows—the symbolic gateway to the Sierra—Dennis A. Clairmont leads readers into some of the most demanding and breathtaking miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. From the blast-furnace heat of the Mojave's final ridges to the icy grandeur of Forester Pass and the mythic John Muir Trail corridor, this book blends vivid day-by-day storytelling with practical details for fellow hikers. Along the way, readers experience the hardships of food carries and high passes, the camaraderie of resupply stops, and the majesty of granite cathedrals, alpine lakes, and roaring rivers. This is the Sierra at its most rugged and rewarding—a journey of both body and spirit.
