For many, the risk of peril adds to the allure of the trail. In this enthralling volume, long-time hiker Steve Carpenter explores the joys of the trail and the misfortunes that have befallen hikers. Including some history of the trail, Carpenter relays encounters with wildlife, accidents on the trail, stories of sex and murder, and meetings with larger-than-life thru hikers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493095110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493095117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Falcon Press Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steve Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072284279039,"sku":"9781493095117","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54a8341d-370d-467e-8c46-405e52bee60b.jpg?v=1753416345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-allure-and-peril-of-steve-carpenter-9781493095117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
