Trail of the Lost ~A Review~

Every year, there are hundreds of hikers that take off onto Pacific Crest Trail. Most of them make it back without any incidents, and with some great stories. Others find trouble along the trail, and have some horror stories to share. Yet others step off, never to be heard from again — and that is where this book begins.

There are three main cases that are followed, and the many different leads that came in, locations, and more — but none have led to a successful conclusion. The names of the missing grow each year.

This was a fantastic read — I would love to type more, but I don’t want to ruin the book for readers. But it was amazing, and definitely worth a read! The background of the author really lends to the book, and listening to some of the stories that she shares from her time, and also some personal aspects, really helped to draw the story together.

From Goodreads:

Beautifully written, heartfelt, and at times harrowing, TRAIL OF THE LOST paints a vivid picture of hiker culture and its complicated relationship with the ever-expanding online realm, all while exploring the power and limits of determination, generosity, and hope. It also offers a deep awe of the natural world, even as it unearths just how vast and treacherous it can be.

On the TRAIL OF THE LOST , you may not find what you are looking for, but you will certainly find more than you seek.
