| Summary |
"True story of six thru-hikers whose journeys cross and eventually combine in a thrilling finale"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
In 2007, Mann (known as Scout), his wife Sandy (known as Frodo), and four other hikers set out on the Pacific Crest Trail, walking from Mexico to Canada. Slowly forming relationships and revealing their deepest secrets and aspirations, they face a once-in-a-generation drought and early severe winter storms that test their will. Approaching Canada as a storm rages, Mann relates how these very different hikers, ranging in age, gender, and background, respond to the hardship and suffering ahead: making the final 60-mile push through freezing temperatures, sleet, and snow. -- adapted from back cover |
