Acerca de esta escucha
The Timberline Trail is an iconic hiking trail circumnavigating Mount Hood in Northern Oregon. Packed with incredible scenery, the journey cuts through gorgeous forests, across volcanic terrain, through glacier-carved canyons and ice-cold stream crossings, along alpine meadows, and under thundering waterfalls while providing unprecedented views of Mount Hood and the surrounding Cascade Range volcanic peaks.
This is the story of a four-day backpacking trip on the Timberline—the day-to-day experience, the highs and the lows, and the awe-inspiring beauty. An account of all 42 miles of this amazing, epic trail that will test you, humble you, and make you feel alive. The book includes hiking tips and backpacking lessons and stories from other mountains and hikes in the Western United States, including the Pacific Crest Trail and San Jacinto Peak.

The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what’s missing in our lives. The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail. There’s just one problem: Gil hates camping and is woefully unprepared for the rigors of the journey. Moreover, he soon learns Syd may not survive the hike.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America - majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way - and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

One April morning I left the Mexico border and walked north on the Pacific Crest Trail. For five months I hiked through the California desert, the snows of the Sierra Nevada, and the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington. My goal was to succeed in an epic challenge: to hike 2,650 miles and reach Canada before the October snows.

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning.

Disillusioned by the corporate lifestyle, David finds himself unemployed and desperate for change. Bradley, his older, more adventurous, and slightly-wreckless college fraternity brother presents an enticing offer. Just a few weeks later, the two inexperienced hopefuls abandon society and plunge into a soul-searching sojourn to thru-hike the Pacific Crest trail, a 2,650-mile Mexico-to-Canada footpath - barefoot. At the trail’s mercy from day one, the two hikers face the endless pains of walking, rising tensions, and falling behind to the coming winter.

It was 23 months after his accident, and Peter was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany, "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better." He set a starting date three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it.

Kim Stanley Robinson first ventured into the Sierra Nevada mountains during the summer of 1973. He returned from that encounter a changed man, awed by a landscape that made him feel as if he were simultaneously strolling through an art museum and scrambling on a jungle gym like an energized child. He has returned to the mountains throughout his life—more than a hundred trips—and has gathered a vast store of knowledge about them. The High Sierra is his lavish celebration of this exceptional place.

This is a terrific audiobook. It's interesting, well-written, and timely. It's the story of a textbook editor who retires, reads the popular book The Wild Effect and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail - and have an unexpected adventure! The tone is wry humor, tongue in cheek - the author has a great sense of humor, is perky, and as she learns in this adventure, is often in over her head! She is a very likeable character.

Nice Hiking read
Great to get some information about hiking around Mt. Hood. On my bucket list. Sometimes gets a little too detailed and you want it to just move on, but overall very enjoyable account of one man’s journey.

Must Read (even if you are not hiker)
As my headline states, I am not a hiker in any sense of the word. What I am though is someone who loves to listen to others stories and experiences, which is what this author does. Alex "Sherwood" Theis, masterfully tells his four day adventure on the Timberline Trail with the use of humor, inspiration and honesty. He provides tips and motivation to inspire others to get up and accomplish their goals, whether it is to hike the Timberline Trail or start a new adventure whatever that may be!

READ THIS BOOK! All Timberline Trail Backpackers
Alex Theis humbly and masterfully shares the kind of essential hard-earned knowledge and well-lived experiences anyone backpack wisdom any Timberline Trail backpacker treasures.
Whether you're a novice or seasoned backpacker, the author covers nuanced tips and hacks one needs to successfully brave this often-dangerous trek around Mount Hood.
More than just practical, though, Alex's writing style and pace weave the essential backpacking information together through par excellence storytelling. His descriptions of the terrain and inner-experiences takes me with him into the beauty, and majesty of the experience.
The thing that helped me the most, however, was his humility. It was refreshing. His struggles with the inner-game seem much like mind would be. He generously transforms his many mistakes and emotional struggles along the way into memorable nuggets of golden wisdom. In so going, he helps me best prepare for the hardest part of this (and any) significant undertaking—the realm of the emotional, mindset, and physical fortitude.
