Favorite hiking travelogues/memoirs

While compiling this list, I found myself rather shocked to discover that Bill Bryson’s book about the Appalachian Trail was my least favorite book among these completed. He has long been one of my favorite authors, but somehow A Walk in the Woods did not resonate with me as much as the other books in this list.

Nevertheless there are many great hiking adventures out there to read about. the list below includes the Appalachian Trail (2 books), Colorado Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Great Silk Road (3 books). Needless to say, there are many others that I have yet to discover.

If there are such books that you have read and loved, please pass them along. I always enjoy a memorable hiking adventure. Similar lists will be posted over time for published boating, sailing, motor vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle/scooter, train, plane, and mixed travel mode adventures.

Happy trails and Peace!

Moin! ☕☕☕😊
Ich habe gestern 3 Stunden im Parkverbot gestanden und wurde nicht abgeschleppt. Morgen probier ich es mal mit dem Auto!
Aber erst einmal werde ich die Johannisbeeren essen.
