A heartwarming adventure!
Can a comically straightforward American man learn patience and understanding in the wilderness?
Tightly written, witty, and agile, the most heart-touching and curveball characters are brought to life in a rich narrative that will have you laughing out loud, shaking your head, drying your eyes—but always, always absorbed and eager to hear more.
The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,600-mile footpath from Mexico to Canada through the mountains of the West, and Rick sets out for the six-month trek looking forward to being immersed in nature. But once on the trail, he's surprised to find that his fellow humans, when observed and listened to at foot speed, are the more interesting and instructive creatures.
Written by a former West Coast climbing instructor and guide, and narrated by an East Coast sight and sound artist, Walking Home celebrates the people and their adventures on the trail with comic insight, rather than the usual "man vs. wilderness" narrative. The book is also liberally sprinkled with real-life tips and hacks for the experienced and fledgling backpacker alike.
The trail is likely an adventure that you too can take on, and Walking Home will make you want to.
We can all use a good, long trail.

Historia
The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what’s missing in our lives. The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail. There’s just one problem: Gil hates camping and is woefully unprepared for the rigors of the journey. Moreover, he soon learns Syd may not survive the hike.

Historia
It was 23 months after his accident, and Peter was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany, "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better." He set a starting date three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it.

Derick Lugo had never been hiking. He certainly couldn't imagine going more than a day without manicuring his goatee. But with a job cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the New York comedy scene began to think about what he might do with months of free time. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,184.2 miles of it. Suddenly he found himself asking, Could he do it?

Disillusioned by the corporate lifestyle, David finds himself unemployed and desperate for change. Bradley, his older, more adventurous, and slightly-wreckless college fraternity brother presents an enticing offer. Just a few weeks later, the two inexperienced hopefuls abandon society and plunge into a soul-searching sojourn to thru-hike the Pacific Crest trail, a 2,650-mile Mexico-to-Canada footpath - barefoot. At the trail’s mercy from day one, the two hikers face the endless pains of walking, rising tensions, and falling behind to the coming winter.

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning.

As a park ranger with the National Park Service's law enforcement team, Andrea Lankford led search and rescue missions in some of the most beautiful (and dangerous) landscapes across America, from Yosemite to the Grand Canyon. But though she had the support of the agency, Andrea grew frustrated with the service's bureaucratic idiosyncrasies, and left the force after twelve years. Two decades later, however, she stumbles across a mystery that pulls her right back where she left off: three young men have vanished from the Pacific Crest Trail.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

This is a terrific audiobook. It's interesting, well-written, and timely. It's the story of a textbook editor who retires, reads the popular book The Wild Effect and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail - and have an unexpected adventure! The tone is wry humor, tongue in cheek - the author has a great sense of humor, is perky, and as she learns in this adventure, is often in over her head! She is a very likeable character.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America - majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way - and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

Mostly ok
Author is a bit full of himself and I will never understand why writers feel the need to inject their political views into a story that is not about politics. Basically ruined the book.

Loved this Book!
I absolutely loved this book. I loved the journey it took the author on. I loved the valuable lessons he learned along the way. It has hilarious moments that the narrator delivered exceptly well. I loved the narrators accents of the people making different characters easy to distinguish and vividly creates a visual image of them. Thank you for the journey. Having lived or traveled in most of those areas, your experience was a delight to walk along with you. Keep sharing.

Fun
From the start I didn’t think I’d enjoy this book but quickly changed my mind. Having hiked most of the PCT in section hikes, I enjoyed his description of familiar ground, and his encounters with PCT trail culture. He also included the funniest description of how to poop in the woods. A highly entertaining read for any prospective or past PCT hiker.

Your Louis and Clark climbing partners
Very impressed with your book. Your writing style allowed the reader to put a backpack on and feel the mud the blisters and the pain in their feet.. your narrative brought back many great memories. In addition, the characters who you encountered are brought to life through your writing style. Cheers. From one of the Rick‘s…

What a fun adventure!
There is no time like any other than to enjoy this daily adventure and hike with Rick Rogers. For those who want a break from life, and get away from it all..they might as well take a journey with Walking Home! And isn’t that what we all need? To walk internally “home”? I have certainly enjoyed this light entertaining book escaping from the tough world of today, and I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the narration by Marcus Pierce! Marcus climbed into these characters and created a fun envisionmint of each character that was passed along the journey.. And there were a lot of characters! I thought he did fantastic! Do you know how hard it is to do all kinds of accents and characters? Anyone who knows anything about voiceovers (and I do professionally know as a professional trained entertainer) knows that is a wonderful challenge to undertake! I loved it.
Personally I beg to differ of opinion about a voice of a 50 year old?? 1) voices don’t change that much when you get older. My voice is the SAME at 48. IF they do, they might get a little softer or with a glottal or throat covering on the vocal cords and that could be really if they overworked their vocal cords. Or trauma. 2) Athletes on average truly have boisterous energy even at later ages. I am a professional dancer, AND have professional athlete-we’re talking pro’s here-athletic or proactive friends from their 50’ss to 80’s! I am also a hiker and have hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
Enjoy this hiking adventure wondrously illustrated by Marcus Pierce.
Bravo!
By the way, I did give 4 stars vs 5 only because I personally want to know more of what our adventurer was learning more soulfully or spiritually if anything along the way, or if any sort of “mindful awakening” had happened as he encountered new friends along the way. :)
Thanks for the fun!

Great story, engaging narrator.
Loved the story and the characters along the way. The authors humor is definitive. Very enjoyable book.

Pretty Good Story, But ...
I certainly admire Rick Rogers for taking on the Pacific Crest Trail at a relatively advanced age. He must be in incredible shape to be able to cover the distances that he did, particularly near the end of his hike. I also enjoyed his stories about the colorful characters encountered along the way. Rogers comes across as a pretty nice guy who would be a good traveling companion and who would help others on the trail.
There were two things, however, that I found a bit off-putting about this book. First, although Rogers claims to have become more open minded as a result of his journey, that does not stop him from labeling a whole town as racist as a result of an incident (admittedly a disgusting incident) involving one resident and his hiking companion. A few other similar moments come through--I wish he had left such generalizations (which generally seem out of character) on the trail.
Second, I found the narration annoying. The story is told in the first person. Rogers is an older guy, but the narrator sounds like a vigorous guy in his twenties or early thirties. Further, the narrator affects a rather cloying voice when imitating women. Just not a great fit for this book.

Felt pessimistic and negative.
I usually love long Hike books. This one however, just felt like it was so negative. The first part of the book everyone seemed so rude. It was hard to listen to. I am not sure if it was the author's intent or if it was tone in which the narrator read it.

Do not recommend.
I’ve read a lot of PCT hiking books. This was one of my least favorites. Hard to stay interested. Very weird guy.

Not a Walk in the Woods.
Author seems like a nice person. He does tend to virtue signal and preach *open mindedness* and claims to be socially conservative. I could tolerate hearing his views most of the time, and he did provide some interesting information and observations.
Then, at the end, he let his true colors fly and we get treated to his shame about our country and citizenry’s response to the covid epidemic and other things. I immediately regretted buying this book.
