Pacific Crest Trail Data Book

Welcome to the Pacific Crest Trail online data book!

Here you'll find over 2,000 data points with most of the Wilderness Press Data Book points duplicated, but with much more information. With this information packed data book you'll find useful info between points, such as, the high/low elevations between 2 points. Also, the amount of ascent/descent between 2 points. Of course the standard data associated with a data book is here also.

You'll also find elevation charts for each trail section, with min/max elevation for that section, total ascent/descent and the 3 biggest climbs in that section!!!

The data book is freely available to registered postholer.com hikers in PDF format, Updated 9/16/11. Also for registered postholer.com hikers are free overview PDF map sets. Choose from the 71 page 1:100K map set or the 29 page 1:250K map set.

Resupply locations are bold text, water locations are blue text and water alerts greater than 10 miles are bold-red text. I'll be fine-tuning the water data info and adding new locations on an ongoing basis.
