Since he was six, Jordan Summers has had more fun sleeping on rock, snow, and dirt than any one person should be allowed - spending absurd amounts of time in mountains, forests, canyons, and deserts. Jordan’s newest guidebooks – Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California and Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon & Washington – are the result of Summers’ 4500+ miles traversing this national treasure.
Jordan’s first thru-hike attempt was in 2009 which ended soon after the Desolation Wilderness. In 2012, he picked up where he left off at Donner Pass and continued on to Canada. In 2015, 2016, and 2017, Jordan spent more trail time hiking the John Muir Trail and a repeat of the PCT from Tuolumne Meadows to Canada.
Jordan’s passion for the outdoors and love for the Sierra Nevada range combined to propel his motivation in writing guidebooks – “to help hikers of all abilities get out there, have a great time out there, leave no trace there, and come home safely from there”. Jordan is an alumnus of the National Outdoor Leadership School: Outdoor Educators & Wind River Rock Climbing, a Leave No Trace trainer, and a NOLS-WMI Wilderness First Responder.
Jordan lives in the Sierra Nevada foothill town of Pioneer, California.
