An inspiring, humorous and motivating memoir of one woman's year-long journey, as she hiked her way to sixty See what started it all, where the journey took her, the lessons learned, the obstacles overcome and the mountains she climbed A note from Lori, "Although the word hiking is part of my title, my humble musings inside of this book is far reaching beyond walking on a good pair of hiking boots. At 59 I had an epiphany about my health, and watching my aging parents struggle with theirs, I decided to take myself on a self-perscibed hiking journey to health. That was it. Pretty simple. I wasn't a hiker, and I didn't care I just put on my Keen hiking boots and went."In one year, Lori would log over 1,300 miles (2092.147 km), on 2 pairs of hiking boots, through 5 US states, 10 National Parks, 4 National Monuments and 3 countries. The book doesn't end there. She continued to document the positive consequences of her journey, which she named the Sixty60 Journey, until her 62nd birthday where she returned to Death Valley, where it all began to celebrate with the purchase of her lifetime National Park Pass Everything that happened in between transcends hiking and into life as it happens and we can all relate to that
