A number of them told me they felt like they were hiking the Appalachian Trail with me from the comfort of home. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2012. They wanted me to write about that adventure, too. When I finished writing the book, I asked my vicarious hikers: \"Are You Ready To Hike The Pacific Crest Trail?\" That became the title of my book. It was a fun, fun, challenging hike that created many vivid memories: Running out of water in the scorching desert, a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike, a lone coyote howling mournfully through the quiet star filled night, sparkling mountain lakes spread out below Forrester Pass, fragrant fields of bright lupine, cascading waterfalls, encroaching forest fires, majestic glacier-covered volcanoes, healthy green forests, bears, curious marmots, and filthy, friendly, lean and hungry thru-hikers. Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail left me with new friends and in excellent physical condition. It was a wonderful, exciting adventure. Are YOU ready to hike the Pacific Crest Trail? Join me.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45504723026071,"sku":"9781495423239","price":1067.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781495423239.webp?v=1767164006","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/are-you-ready-to-hike-the-pacific-crest-trail-9781495423239","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
