Disillusioned by the corporate lifestyle, David finds himself unemployed and desperate for change. Bradley, his older, more adventurous, and slightly-wreckless college fraternity brother presents an enticing offer. Just a few weeks later, the two 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, the two hikers face the endless pains of walking, rising tensions, and falling behind to the coming winter.

Just before her 40th birthday, Gail Francis quit her perfectly good job and set out to hike one of the great trails of the world. Carrying everything she needed on her back, Francis spent five months walking from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. Along the way, she lost her pack scrambling over scree in the desert, struggled to navigate high mountain passes, and wore the soles off her boots trekking across lava fields - all within some of the most pristine wilderness in the nation. Though she set out alone, her story includes an eclectic cast of characters.

By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail - a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Heather shares her distinct message of courage - her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her.

What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach. Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram, and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

After a childhood marked by neglect, poverty, and periods of homelessness, with a mother who believed herself to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, Carrot Quinn moved out on her own. She found a sense of belonging among straight-edge anarchists who taught her how to traverse the country by freight trains, sleep in fields under the stars, and feed herself by foraging in dumpsters. Her new life was one of thrilling adventure and freedom, but still she was haunted by the ghosts of her lonely and traumatic childhood.

One April morning I left the Mexico border and walked north on the Pacific Crest Trail. For five months I hiked through the California desert, the snows of the Sierra Nevada, and the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington. My goal was to succeed in an epic challenge: to hike 2,650 miles and reach Canada before the October snows.

Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language.

Description
Carrot Quinn fears that she's become addicted to the Internet. The city makes her numb, and she's having trouble connecting with others. In a desperate move, she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It will be her first long-distance hike.
In the desert of Southern California, Carrot faces many challenges, both physical and emotional: pain, injury, blisters, aching cold and searing heat, dehydration, exhaustion, loneliness. In the wilderness she happens upon and becomes close with an eclectic group of strangers - people she wouldn't have chanced to meet in the "regular world" but who are brought together, here on the trail, by their one common goal: to make it to Canada before the snow flies.

really unique - honest story of challenges
This book is really well done, Carrot is an honest and open writer. I enjoyed this journey, she did well describing her experiences. Oddly enough I felt I was with her everyday. Highly recommended for those who want to step away from this busy life and follow someone who had the courage to do it, thanks Carrot!

Wow, I really enjoyed that. Gritty, beautiful, inspiring, crazy, intimate - what an adventure. The voice actor is fantastic and it’s a story that you can quickly get lost in. I wish Carrot had a book for each of the hikes she has gone on to do. I really enjoyed that. Thanks Carrot.

quite lovely
I needed a break from all the books i had and was quite surprised in how much i enjoyed this book. Great narrator that keeps you engaged and wanting more as the book unfolds. Reading this book gives a good sense of the ups and downs of being on trail. Over all great book would recommend if you like to hike.

An interesting perspective
Every person’s hike is unique and this story focuses on the personal experience rather than the trail it’s self; on the emotional rather than the technical. That doesn’t take anything away from the book, in fact it is true to its name.
There are countless highs and lows on an adventure of this scale and there will be relationships formed that make all others seem shallow and lifeless. Sometimes you will have plenty and other times you will have 50 miles to go and only 1500 calories in your food bag. It was interesting to see how she reacted to these situations and what her internal struggles were.
This is a valuable perspective on the trail.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey with us

Overall good thru hike book
Essentially it was what I was looking for as far as a thru hike book goes. I will be hiking this and I wanted an accurate depiction what day to day life was. It’s a thru hike, it’s gonna be repetitive; she did well to break up the monotony of it. It was written with fair emotional appeal however her overuse of some words was annoying and I understand it was a personal story, it bothered me that she essentially ditched her friends that helped her through sections of the hike, for a guy that didn’t wait for her when she was sick, that’s she’ll never see again. It ruined the whole book for me.
The narrator was mono tone and lacked enthusiasm but it was palatable.

Repetitive
unfortunately hearing each day being recounted got quite boring as everyday sounded pretty much the same as another. Clearly the author is inexperienced at writting/cowriting. After getting 2/3 of tge way through this book I opted fora better read ofhiking the PTC.
