"I never set out to hike 10,000 miles. It just sort of happened over the course of a decade." And so goes Lawton Grinter's compelling collection of short stories that have been over ten years and 10,000 trail miles in the making. I Hike brings the reader trailside with blissful moments on the highest mountain ridges to the mental lows of mosquito hell and into some peculiar situations that even seasoned hikers may find unbelievable.

Between jobs and in search of something more, Lawton Grinter spent the better part of a decade hiking America's longest trails. In doing so he came face to face with things that go bump in the night, the kindness of strangers, a close encounter with hypothermia and the absurd rights of passage common to the eccentric people that call themselves long-distance hikers.

Anyone who's ever stepped off the pavement will appreciate these humorous and sometimes agonizing accounts of trail life. I Hike will make you laugh, cry, cringe and leave you wanting to read more!

The stories were funny, riveting, and informative. However, sometimes they were hard to follow because the narration was so monotonous. Might want to hire a professional for the next audio book reading.

I am gearing up to hike the JMT in 2019 and was compelled to read about Mr. Grinter's experiences. I enjoyed the book and found myself laughing out loud when he mentions how the Swiss hiker needed to shave his taint to prevent chaffing on the CDT. Good read would recommend.

Loved the stories. I was glad it wasn't just a "here's a play by play of my hike" book.

Also, very impressive that they got Hank Hill to narrate.

If you enjoy the book, listen to The Trail Show Podcast; featuring Disco, POD, and others not mentioned in the book.
