Publisher's Synopsis
I wanted something different, but what I found went far beyond anything I could have expected.
Disillusioned by the run-in-place corporate lifestyle, David finds himself unemployed and desperate to move the world under his feet.Bradley, his older, more adventurous, and slightly reckless college fraternity brother, makes an enticing proposal: thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650-mile Mexico-to-Canada footpath-barefoot.
Just a few weeks later, the two inexperienced hopefuls abandon society to soul-search in nature's indifferent embrace. They face the trail's formidable challenges-with rising tensions and the risk of falling behind to the coming winter as their guides.
The Trail Provides is an inspiring thru-hiking memoir-a winding and insightful journey of companionship, lessons learned, dreams and reality, and leaving everything behind for transformation.
Now, let's start the journey.
