Here's a cool resource to see sections of the trail using Google Earth.

Download Google Earth 

Then you'll need to download the PCT.kmz file.

Once you've downloaded the .kmz file double-click the file and it will open in Google Earth.

To view the PCT using Google Maps, click here (it will open in another window). Once it loads, zoom into any part of the Pacific Crest Trail (indicated by the blue line), then click on either the 'MyTopo' button or the 'Terrain' button to see the topographical view. This application is powered by Postholer.com.Postholer.com It may seem slow due to the large amount of information processing required.

Different regions of the trail are described here.
