Why read it?
1 author picked Thru-Hiking Will Break Your Heart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the book that first got me to try long-distance hiking in my early 30s, even though I had never gone camping for even a single night in my entire life.
I felt such resonance with Carrot’s newness to all things backpacking and was so drawn in by her emotionally honest journey, that by the end of the book I found myself believing that if she could walk from Mexico to Canada with no prior experience then maybe I could, too.
From Nicole's list on when you want to quit your life and escape to the mountains.
