Publisher's Synopsis
For thousands around the world, the Pacific Crest Trail is a highlight of a life well-lived. Weeks or months spent in nature are good for the body and soul. It's a magical experience.
This book is a memoir of hikers who walked through the trail. The inexperienced hopefuls abandon society and plunge into a soul-searching sojourn to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile Mexico-to-Canada footpath-barefoot. At the trail's mercy from day one, they face the endless pains of walking, rising tensions, and falling behind to the coming winter.
This book is an inspiring thru-hiking memoir filled with stories of companionship and lessons learned, dreams and reality, and leaving everything behind for the desire of transformation, insight, and self-discovery.
Read this book if you tend to hike through the Pacific Crest Trail.
