Grit: A PCT Thru-Hike Kindle Edition

In 2019, thirty-nine year old Julie Klazynski left her typical Midwestern American life to attempt to a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. She couldn't explain what called her to hike from Mexico to Canada and had never done any backpacking other then small weekend trips before. On the trail she kept a daily blog that recorded her progress, the physical pain, the highs, the lows, and most importantly the people she met along the way. Walk the trail with Julie and experience the life-changing transformation she experienced as she turned 40 in the most adventurous way possible. She is open and honest about the joy, pain, and humor she experienced. This book is not only for aspiring thru-hikers. It is for any human who loves stories about "normal" people pushing the boundaries of the human spirit, and finding the magic of nature and humanity along the way.
