The Invisible Hiker

De: Kira Harland, John Harland, Melissa Browne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) at 12, Kira believed she could never backpack away from everything that kept her stomach pain in check. But 13 years later, she hiked the entire 211-mile John Muir Trail — in the face of a debilitating flareup, a breakup, and a gut-wrenching parasite. Kira's (mis)adventures overcoming chronic pain among the breathtaking Sierra Nevada helped her rediscover everything her body was capable of. And in the highs and lows, the beauty and pain, the perseverance and regret, she came to understand true resilience. All to inspire you, the reader, to take to the outdoors yourself.

Extras included in the book:

• A packing list for hiking the JMT during Summer
• A guide for "going" outdoors

Kira overcame a lot while Hiking the JMT

The story is interesting and I enjoyed most of it. But found the frequent use of “foul language” to be a turn off!
