"Is the Kindle format of this book actually updated as of 2012? It says it's the 7th edition, but the 7th edition for the paperback format is dated 2004.
I'm trying to find out if the Kindle version contains newer information than the 2004 paperback, or does it have a 2012 date simply because that is when the Kindle book was created?"

- I have hiked over 10,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Every year I buy four Wilderness Press books, cut them into sections and put them in my resupply boxes. None are all inclusive for my needs. That does not exist. The Pacific Crest Trail Southern California, Northern California, and Oregon/Washington and the Pacific Crest Trail Data Book, all four by Wilderness Press. They tell me where, I am going, how to get there, side and alternate routes(a huge plus), histories, points of interest and much, much more. These books give me much more than a simple point A to B sterile hike. Author, Ben Schifrin, and editor, Roslyn Bullas, are active in the hiking community a show a genuine concern for helping the trails and the hikers both. I also use each year Yogi's Pacific Crest Trail Handbook. Author Jackie McDonnell(Yogi) is the #1 authority on how to hike the Pacific Crest Trail and she also passes on information from 500 other recent thru hikers including me. It will save you $100's of Dollars and 100's of hours. Buy it at [...] And I also use the free to print [...] maps by my friend Halfmile. The size and detail make it the best map for hiking the PCT.
- Is the format of this book actually updated as of 2012? It says it's the 7th edition, but the 7th edition for the paperback format is dated 2004.
I'm trying to find out if the version contains newer information than the 2004 paperback, or does it have a 2012 date simply because that is when the book was created? - Great book to answer some basic questions and get you started on a wonderful quest. Only draw back is the maps ! The PCT is the same color blue as the rivers! Why couldn't the trail be green?
- One of the most negatively written descriptions of the trail. And the maps are so unclear, their useless. There are a few helpful distances given, but overall, I scrapped this and went with the very reliable Halfmile app for distance and water, and used Green Trails maps for detailed mapping.
- Great as a planning guide. Very thorough. Thanks!
- Maps inside the book, while legible, are fairly small. I would hestitate to rely upon them on the trail itself. On the other hand, the text is clear and concise with respect to trail markers, junctions and water sources. I would recommend it but would not rely upon the maps
- This is a great supplement to the other PCT books we have.
- My only complaint is that the maps are a little blurry to read but totally usable.
