Chasing Spring on the Pacific Crest Trail

Back by popular demand, Bob Steele is presenting  “Chasing Spring on the Pacific Crest Trail”

In 2016, Bob and Susan Steele from Inyokern thru-hiked the 2,650-mile-long Pacific Crest Trail with a different goal than anyone else – counting all the birds. Their trek passed through magnificent scenery and diverse habitats, affording the chance to see birds moving northbound during spring migration to summer breeding locations. With stunning photography and storytelling, this afternoon presentation with guest speaker Bob Steele will take you along the spine of the West Coast mountain ranges, winding from Mexico to Canada, with a keen eye toward natural history, flowers, and birds. Share in the joy and challenge of backpacking 140 days on one of the most famous trails in the Western Hemisphere, and glimpse some of the 200 species of birds and many flowers found along the way.
