Felt like I was along for the hike!

This was a neat story. I enjoyed taking the trip with the author. It was a quick listen.

Love it

I found it funny, poetic, and truthful. The virtual voice left something to be desired but didn’t take away from the experience.

Feel like I hiked !

Great descriptions very heartfelt zero smut nothing to not not like I even like the poetry cuz of course a person would have to keep mind busy and creative

Worst Virtual Voice ever.

I've read several thru-hike books. This one was the worst. Boring, full of cutesy poems and words.
