Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman's Journey
Written from the heart. An important read before taking on the CDT. --Rick Russman, Sierra Club National Outings Trip Leader, former NH State Senator (prepublication endorsement)Jennifer Hanson's "Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman's Journey" recounts the author's flip-flop hike in 1997. The passage of time has seen many improvements in the route as well as the information available to trail users; and today's traveler will not be quite so alone. Yet, despite these changes, the themes of water, weather, physical challenge, and motivation are as true now as they were a dozen years ago. Jennifer's story is a good read and a rewarding introduction for anyone considering a venture on the CDT. --Jim Wolf, Continental Divide Trail Society Director (prepublication endorsement)
