Description
A heartwarming adventure!
Can a comically straightforward American man learn patience and understanding in the wilderness?
Tightly written, witty, and agile, the most heart-touching and curveball characters are brought to life in a rich narrative that will have you laughing out loud, shaking your head, drying your eyes—but always, always absorbed and eager to hear more.
The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,600-mile footpath from Mexico to Canada through the mountains of the West, and Rick sets out for the six-month trek looking forward to being immersed in nature. But once on the trail, he's surprised to find that his fellow humans, when observed and listened to at foot speed, are the more interesting and instructive creatures.
Written by a former West Coast climbing instructor and guide, and narrated by an East Coast sight and sound artist, Walking Home celebrates the people and their adventures on the trail with comic insight, rather than the usual "man vs. wilderness" narrative. The book is also liberally sprinkled with real-life tips and hacks for the experienced and fledgling backpacker alike.
The trail is likely an adventure that you too can take on, and Walking Home will make you want to.
We can all use a good, long trail.
