Why read it?

1 author picked The Great Alone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As someone who has hiked a few sections of the Pacific Crest Trail, I found this memoir of the author’s experiences while through-hiking the PCT to be visually stunning and delightful.

He managed to describe his daily progress with enough variety that I never grew tired of his quest. This story has inspired me to return to the trail for another section or two!

From Diane's list on long walking adventures.
