Could wilderness be our only hope? As our culture removes itself from the natural world, something very essential has been lost. But there is still one place we can go to get it back. Come along on a spiritual journey, away from a chaotic world of details, obligations, smartphones, and noisy machines to a place that is unspoiled, untamed, and free. Backpacking mostly solo, Stillman leads us to the heart of the American wilderness, where nature works her magic to heal and transform your life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Is the Grand Canyon big enough to handle all of your worries? I wanted to know that answer, so I walked to the bottom to find out. For years, nature has taught us so many important lessons. The most important may be that we're a part of nature itself. Hiking has a way of bringing us closer to nature. Healing us. Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us.

In Journeys North, legendary trail angel, thru hiker, and former PCTA board member Barney Scout Mann spins a compelling tale of six hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2007 as they walk from Mexico to Canada. This ensemble story unfolds as these half-dozen hikers - including Barney and his wife, Sandy - trod north, 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 in this bare-knuckled adventure.

By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail - a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Heather shares her distinct message of courage - her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her.

Publisher's Summary
We all have mountains to conquer and in the process of climbing them, we find that we're really conquering ourselves.
By stepping beyond my comfort zone to discover what I was made of, I learned some valuable lessons about habits, discipline, mindfulness, friendship, challenges, attitude, mindset, comfort, mental strength, and my perceived physical limitations. Listening to this audiobook, you’ll learn a lot about them as well!
Hiking the 48, 4000-foot peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains changed my life forever. It taught me more than I could ever imagine, and my quest can teach you a lot too.
Have you ever wanted to embark on a life-changing adventure, but felt too scared to do it? I decided to embrace the unknown and took on the enormous challenge, the difficult and rewarding journey, and the exciting venture. I’m forever glad I did.
Take a walk with me as I climb mountain by mountain, and experience the lessons and takeaways learned from each peak I summited.

A transformative journey with a friend, philosopher and poet!
What value would you place on a journey which changes you for the better? Matt’s journey not only changes him but because of his philosophers mindset, Poetic vision and deep desire to connect in friendship with the world and all of us who share it; this journey can become transformative for all of us. Josh delivers the perfect tone to bring out mats voice in this audiobook and the lessons learned our ones I will seek out several times in future readings. Each of us is ultimately responsible for what we take away from life and from such an opportunity as buying and reading this book. I am grateful I made the choice.
