"This book reminds and inspires us to search for the wildness that lives inside of us."
--Lori Oliver-Tierney, author, Trudge: A Midlife Crisis on the John Muir Trail

"I absolutely loved reading this book." --Amazon reader

"This book impressed and inspired me." --Amazon reader

Nearing age 70, with five long-distance European hikes in the bag, Reg is finally ready to tackle one of the most iconic treks the United States offers.

Or is he?

A self-proclaimed slackpacker who enjoys a shower, cold beer, and warm bed at the end of each dusty day, Reg throws caution aside, signing on with a packing company for a 30-day trek along California's historic John Muir Trail.

With the support of three packers on horseback, each leading a team of mules, Reg, his wife Sue, and nine other hikers set foot on a 246-mile adventure through the stunning Sierra Nevada wilderness.

Daily challenges await, including seemingly insurmountable high-elevation climbs under scorching sun as well as rocky, knee-busting descents. No showers, no toilets, no warm bed.

Will Reg overcome his mountain of misgivings as he plunges into the unknown?


"Read the exciting account of Reg and Sue's remarkable transformation...their story is fascinating, entertaining, and powerfully inspiring."
--Tom Hesch, author, Twenty Years to the Finish Line

"An enduring and inspiring hike, illuminating the realities of walking into the unknown."
David Smart, author, The Trail Provides
Outdoors & Nature Walking Inspiring Hiking

Love this story. Hard to imagine a 69-year-old man making the journey of the John Muir trail. The virtual voice was pleasant enough, but didn't know how to pronounce a lot of the words. I would recommend to anyone who loves to read about hiking the Long Trail. JS

Love this story.

This is the second tale from this author for me. His descriptions of the challenging hikes through California’s mountains was amazing in breathtaking views and vertical challenges. But the more spiritual hike along the Camino de Santiago in Spain captured my soul. I love the mountains. And one if my favorite John Muir sayings is “Into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
Thank you for your stories!

Excellent description of the beautiful mountains!
