About this listen
Carrot Quinn fears that she's become addicted to the Internet. The city makes her numb, and she's having trouble connecting with others. In a desperate move, she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It will be her first long-distance hike.
In the desert of Southern California, Carrot faces many challenges, both physical and emotional: pain, injury, blisters, aching cold and searing heat, dehydration, exhaustion, loneliness. In the wilderness she happens upon and becomes close with an eclectic group of strangers - people she wouldn't have chanced to meet in the "regular world" but who are brought together, here on the trail, by their one common goal: to make it to Canada before the snow flies.

Too much sex!
A well performed recollection of a through hike experience. Just too much sex for me!

eye rolls
I loved the hiking and adventure escapism, but carrot really annoyed me as a person. so scared to be her own person and do anything with any one. I found myself eye rolling every few minutes when she'd whine about wanting to stay with her "friends" or her repeated questions "what is...." was a constant one. she felt too people please-y. Great book but carrots not my kind of person :)

Great listen
With all the reviews saying too much sex, I was waiting for it. There isn't any. Gets mentioned about 3/4 of the way through.
Carrot writes in a very descriptive manner and does an excellent job in taking you along on her journey.
Erin does a masterful reading, very much bringing the character to life. Well worth the listen.

A great tale.
This was a great tale of a walk along the PCT, expressed with heart. Recommended.

Glad I stuck it out
The naration and writing style was hard to listen to at first but got slightly better towards the end. There is one part where the author used onomatopoeia excessively to describe the wind and it was completely overkill, I almost stopped listening but pushed through and I'm glad I did. Many beautifully profound insights along her journey that I'm glad I listened to.

Incredible
Beautifully written, I didn’t want it to end. Definitely pulled on the heart strings and made you feel you were out there on the trail.

The perfect workday commute companion
This book was great! A day by day account of the PCT, with the highlights, low lights, and relationships along the way. A great read for times when you feel caught in the 9-5. A reminder to step away from it all and live!

Loved it
Beautifully told and narrated, fabulously honest. I love that the writing covers more than just the walking and touches on her relationships and inner journey

Love to hear about the burbling creeks, and going on a journey through heart, time and space.
