I Only Go North

In the closing months of 2017, I decided to make a dramatic shift in my life and pursue a goal I'd had for over a decade. I was going to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine the following spring. Upon my return, I decided to write a book to better reflect, reminisce, and hopefully archive my experience to remember for years to come. This book is the result of over 2,200 miles of hiking across 14 states in 140 days within some of the most beautiful forests the United States has to offer. This book serves as my trail journal in an attempt to introduce some of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, revive amazing experiences, and paint a picture for those who crave adventure. Many dream of undertaking a "thru-hike" of the Appalachian trail, fewer are brave enough to take the leap and attempt one, and even less manage to finish it. The daily trails God and Country throw at a hiker can break even the strongest of spirits but those that endure emerge on the other side eternally changed. I invite you to spare a few moments to walk a few steps with me on the trail.
