Story4 out of 5 stars 78
An honest account of a woman's trek on the John Muir Trail is captured in this lively trail journal. Celebrate her joy as the beauty of the High Sierra in California is slowly revealed, feel the comradery of trail friends she meets along the way, and sympathize with her when all she wants is for the trail to end. Along the way — hikers of all ages — but especially mature hikers, will see how she and her husband met challenges head-on, lightened their load, planned meals and managed daily logistics for more than three weeks on the trail.

Great Book about the JMT and hiking!
Reviewed: 12-09-17
I read the kindle version of the book when it first came out. I did the trail with my husband the year before Inga so when the book came out, I was very interested in reading it. It brought back so many memories that had become a blur. When you are hiking a trail over two weeks, the days start to blend together.
I am planning another long distance hike for 2018 and repeating the JMT is one of the options so I was going to re-read her book but then I saw the audio book was available. Allie does an great job at the narration.
This is a great book if you are planning a JMT hike, completed the JMT or just want to listen to a hiking adventure. It isn't a guidebook but a story about the hike and the day to day difficulties along with unexpected surprises.
