How do trail names get bestowed and what does it mean when you find yourself roaring back at a mountain lion? How have climate change, technology, and the sheer number of hikers affected life on the PCT? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFind the answers to all these questions, and so many more, in the diverse writings gathered in Crossing Paths, an anthology of stories and poems written by PCT hikers. Reflecting the contributors' rich and varied individual experiences, this collection includes both ordinary and extraordinary experiences, from dodging lightning strikes on an exposed ridge south of Sonora Pass or surviving early fall snowstorms in the Cascades, to deeply personal walks-as-therapy following military service or cancer treatment. The selection represents geographic, gender, ethnic, and age diversity, and strives to reflect the totality and depth of life on the trail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rees Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680515705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680515701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mountaineers Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2022","brand":"Rees Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043887116543,"sku":"9781680515701","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d230ef9-b65d-4a9c-a307-92beead74acb.jpg?v=1684969691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crossing-paths-rees-hughes-9781680515701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
