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.

The day to day may be a bit repetitive, but I loved her journey. I thought it was very interesting and it’s left me wanting to read more adventure non fiction.

Loved the journey

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!

really unique - honest story of challenges

Loved this book, felt like I was on the adventure with them. But the last two chapters were hard to get through. Hiking turned into some weird love story and the ending irritated me that she didn’t stay true to herself and finish with her friends.

Excellent story telling but…

Amazing

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.
