Itch: A Pacific Northwest Trail Story

A novice hiker falls in love with the outdoors and chases after a dream: to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail faster than anyone's ever done before. When it catches fire, he makes a last-minute decision to switch to the 1,248-mile Pacific Northwest Trail, not knowing what he's getting into.

Imagine crossing seven different mountain ranges--from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Divide--through rising tides, bushwhacks and even grizzly country. Now imagine doing it in only 28 days.

Nick Fowler did just that and his book will make you feel like you were hiking right along beside him--through the best and the worst of it. If you are considering the hike yourself, this book may give you some insights.

From weather to widowmakers and stench to stinging nettles--all in the Pacific Northwest wilderness--Nick uses humor and wit to bring readers along on the trail. Just wait till you find out how he combated the chafing problems.
