Filled with guilt and regret, he vows to show her the remainder of the trail through his own eyes, ears, and thoughts. But did he bite off more than he can chew? Can he finish the hike without her? Without some trail magic? Follow Bob and his trail family as they strive to make the most of second chances along one of the most beautiful mountain trails in the world. How will they handle the daunting physical challenges of thin mountain air, unpredictable weather, wildlife encounters, and climbing thousands of feet a day? Will their emotional baggage outweigh the backpacks digging into their shoulders and containing everything they need for three weeks? Will Thousand Island Lake, the Muir Hut, and Mt. Whitney reward and inspire them as much as the heavily edited vlogs proclaim? Join the adventure from the comfort of your home as you relive your own hike or plan your next adventure. This is a work of fiction.
