Rattlesnakes and Bald Eagles

As probably the world's most experienced long distance walker who also writes, Chris Townsend has many stories to tell, and many photographs to illustrate them with. Of all his adventures, those he enjoyed on America's Pacific Crest Trail in the Eighties are among his favorites. The PCT runs 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada desert, forest, and mountain wildernesses. In Rattlesnakes and Bald Eagles Chris recounts not only his own six-month walk but also the longer story of the trail, and shares his ideas on how it is developing and where it is all going with his many readers. "Those searching for adventure will not be disappointed."--Library Journal
