Author, hiker, and outdoor advocate Barney Scout Mann will discuss his experiences hiking the PCT, a trail that runs 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada, as well as his books on thru-hiking.

This is part of the series, presented by the University of California Riverside in partnership with Friends of the Desert Mountains, investigating the history and habitat of the Coachella Valley and beyond. Each free lecture is open to the public.
