    West Coast Trail info needed

    Good morning,

    My wife's best friend is looking to hike the West Coast Trail next year with her brother. She has been looking for a book to read about the WCT, but keeps coming out of GA bookstores empty handed. Can anyone suggest a good book on the trail / prepping for the trail?

    Thanks in advance,
    STinGa

    There are guidebooks to the WCT available, but (unfortunately) these days you'll probably get more info online.
    The WCT trail is very very 'popular' so there is tons of info out there.
