The Trail Provides: A Boy’s Memoir of Thru-Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail

If your life led to a dead-end, in which direction would you walk?

Disillusioned by the run-in-place corporate lifestyle, David finds himself 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.

Soon after, the two inexperienced hopefuls abandon society to soul-search in nature’s indifferent embrace. They face the trail’s strains of a freedom previously unknown-with rising tensions and the risk of falling behind to the nearing winter as their guides.

The Trail Provides is an inspiring thru-hiking memoir-a winding journey of companionship, lessons learned, dreams and reality, and leaving everything behind for transformation, insight, and self-discovery.

Let’s start the journey.
