Stories from the Trail : Field Notes on Moving Through the Wild

Stories from the Trail is a collection of writing about wayfinding, specifically, hiking-what a walk (or roll, depending on the ambulatory needs of the hiker) through the woods, across a prairie, over a desert, or up a mountain has to offer in terms of reflections, hard-earned lessons, and stories. These are essays about and poetic interpretations of specific experiences out on the trail, hiking as a lifestyle choice, and reflections that bring to light how time moving through the natural world has added to each writer's life - and thus their contribution to the world - for good.Some of the authors in these pages didn't discover hiking until later in life, some grew up on the trails, and some have had to change how they interact with moving through the outdoors. But no matter how they traverse the trails, or when they discovered that doing so was important to life, what they share is a love for navigating nature on their own terms. Whether it's hiking through New York City into the wild, or traversing the backcountry trails of Sweden, or reclaiming a place in the wild after some time away, may these essays inspire you to keep going outside and creating your own stories from the trail.
