The Pacific Crest Trail was pioneered in 1969/70 by the Murray Family on horseback, 2500 miles from Mexico to Canada. This book excerpt from Search For A Shadow of The Past shows the Oregon portion of their famous ride.
Ride along as they experience the Oregon Cascade Mountains, hidden wilderness Oregon lakes, and the beauty of it all with fantastic photography on each page. The story of this Murray family adventure was published in LIFE and Holiday magazines.
Celebrate with them as they cross the California border into Oregon, where the Father, Barry Murray, was born and raised.
Stand in awe as their horse pack train traverses the narrow ridges of Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, The Sisters, and many more of the Cascade Mountain Range. The high country of Oregon.
Hold your breath as they take their horses over The Bridge of The Gods spanning the mighty Columbia River Gorge, 200 feet below, at the Oregon, Washington border.
