Review: Chasing Summer

Chasing Summer on the Continental Divide Trail
by Kyle Rohrig

It took me a long time to read this--and that was great! I enjoyed every page and almost wished it could be longer. He writes about pretty near every day on the trail, so you really feel like you're traveling along with him. Every miserable (and magnificent and glorious) step.

He writes of the many fun people he meets on the way without turning the narrative into a chatty social club sort of hike. More often he writes of all the reasons to be out there in the first place--mountaintops, views, animals, cozy campsites...even on a couple of occasions, campsites in the on-trail privies. And on and on, too much to describe in a review.

Highly recommended.
