Trail of the Lost

Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail. by Andrea Lankford The author is a former search and rescue ranger for the park service and for law enforcement. She focuses on 3 hikers who disapeared on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2015, 2016 and 2017. They all disapeared on different parts of the PCT, but she saw similarities in their stories. Along the way Andrea meets many people associated with the PCT and family and searchers looking for answers. Lots of info here about the trail and trail culture, the pitfalls that can be found and the shady characters that are attracted to the trail, and other long distance trails. Good story but sadly the people she is looking for are never found, and the families continue to mourn.
