Bored and fed up with life, staring down a 50th birthday, Mike Tyler was looking for a change. Life had become routinized and unexciting. Maybe it was a mid-life crisis, or maybe just a yearning for one last big adventure. Mike decides to try hiking from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail, just to see what happens.

Mike convinces his wife, Margo, to join him. Together, they embark on a five-month hike full of anticipation. They hike through some of the most stunning and remote places in the country on a trail full of unique, offbeat characters. But the trail had even more to offer than either of them had anticipated.

It started out great but then over time, I felt like I was listening to a children’s book. Not sure if that’s because the narration was bad or if it was the writing style…maybe both. If you want a quick read and enjoy hiking stories, this will do.

It was just ok

What a terrific story! I felt like I had hiked the Pacific Crest Trail myself while reading this book! Great story of a couple taking the summer off to hike and camp and share their journey through this story.

Loved The Journey

Very chill, undramatic, just a telling of a long hike. But it was a peaceful palate cleanser in between the dramatics of other books. I love to day-hike and have been to most of the places along the PCT, just never as a distance hiker. It’s always been a curiosity of mine and this helped a lot with that and really putting a timeline on it. It was informational, but with a story and a heart and so I really enjoyed it! If you are looking for dramatic events and retelling if once-in-a-lifetime adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this isn’t it. But it is what it is and it’s good at that! It also let me know about the John Muir Trail, which I think could be something more of my level. Make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed this listen!

I’m not sure if it was the tone of the writing or the reader’s voice, but so many times I felt like I was listening to immature and whining conversations. Often the author made rash descriptions or judgments ... thankfully he included the fact that he DID later evolve his thinking, but it felt so awkward in between. I can’t quite put my finger in it.

The story was certainly valuable enough to hear to the end, but it was frustrating to listen to. Now I’m wondering if this would have been better to read rather than listen. (?)

Somewhat disappointed

It was an OK read, but the very simplified style of the author felt like I was reading a children’s book.

Non-stressful

gives you a good sense of the experience on the PCT, but a little cheesy at times

Good, but cheesy

I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks about hiking and adventure. This book has nothing exciting whatsoever. In fact, the couple gets along so well that I question the authenticity of this memoir.

The narrator's voice tones just don't go well with the story. It's not that he has a voice that's irritating it just doesn't fit this type of story. He would do better doing children's books or something. It could have been longer, but overall I enjoyed the context.

Narrator's voice

The narrative and the description of their adventure was interesting to listen to. I wish they had included more details. The conversations were kind of cheesy and the narrator trying to use a female voice was even worse but overall a good read.

Overall an interesting book

I’ll always enjoy a trail journal. This was a fairly typical one and I appreciated to couple aspect to it. The narration felt a bit forced to me and at times it was enough to distract me from the story itself. I’m glad it was a free download with my audible plan.

Good story
