So very detailed she must have spent hours every evening taking notes--and worth it! Awesome description of the author's trials, tribulations and joys on the trail. It only took them about a month to make the hike, but the description was so lively, scary and wondrous that I wanted it to take much longer.
And isn't that just about the best praise you can give certain books--wish it had gone on forever?
She describes the mountains and the trails so beautifully you want to be doing exactly what she's doing...except for the rain, the slippery mountain passes, the narrow logs across icy streams, the trail that disappears in a snowfield, and the ever-pounding footsteps made by blistered feet. It's a relief when she switches to hiking sandals--been there, done that and felt the wonders.
