Adrift on the Pacific Crest Trail: A Thru-Hiking Story

Clay Bonnyman Evans — aka Pony — set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail five years after completing the Appalachian Trail. As a veteran thru-hiker, his 2,653-mile journey from Mexico to Canada came off (almost) without a hitch. Spectacular scenery, nearly pristine weather, and deep camaraderie with his continually evolving trail family made for a joyous four months in the wilderness. But his emotional journey was full of surprises. Written with wry humor and deep joy, Adrift on the Pacific Crest Trail picks up where Evans’ AT memoir, The Trail Is the Teacher, left off, revealing once again the trail’s remarkable, mysterious ability to transform lives physically, emotionally, and socially.
