Download or read book Uphill Both Ways written by Andrea Lani and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the West Longlist for Memoir/Biography One grouchy husband. Three reluctant kids. Five hundred miles of wilderness. And one woman, determined to escape the humdrum existence of modern parenting and a toxic work environment and to confront the history of environmental damage wreaked by westward expansion and the Anthropocene. In Uphill Both Ways Andrea Lani walks us through the Southern Rockies, describing how the region has changed since the discovery of gold in 1859. At the same time, she delves into the history of her family, who immigrated to Leadville to work in the mines, and her own story of hiking the trail in her early twenties before returning two decades later, a depressed middle-aged mom in East Coast exile seeking happiness in a childhood landscape. On the 489-mile trek from Denver to Durango on the Colorado Trail, Lani's family traveled through stunning scenery and encountered wildflowers, wildlife, and too many other hikers. They ate cold oatmeal in a chilly, wet tent and experienced scorching heat, torrential thunderstorms, and the first nip of winter. Her kids grew in unimaginable ways, and they became known as "the family of five," an oddity along a trail populated primarily by solo men. As they inched along the trail, Lani began to exercise disused smile muscles, despite the challenges of hiking in a middle-aged body, maintaining her children's safety and happiness, and contending with marital discord. She learned that being a slow hiker does not make one a bad hiker and began to uncover the secret to happiness.

Book Synopsis Day Hiking the Colorado Trail - Volume 1 by : Kevin A Singel
Download or read book Day Hiking the Colorado Trail - Volume 1 written by Kevin A Singel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-05-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the Colorado Trail with simple out-and-back day hikes. Most people know the Colorado Trail as a long-distance thru-hike that requires a month of high-elevation backpacking and the physical fitness that requires. Laura and Kevin break the trail into day hikes giving everyone the chance to enjoy this world-class trail, and then return to the comfort of their own bed! Day Hiking the Colorado Trail, Volume 1, provides 61 hikes along the first 183 miles of the CT. These hikes vary between 1 and 18 miles, with most of the hikes about 5 to 7 miles long. Each hike includes information about how to get there (including GPS coordinates), parking, features, terrain, length, and elevation. Learn where and how to access the trail and what you'll experience on your day hike. The authors have researched and visited every access point along the trail, not just the beginning and end of the CT "Segments". There are so many ways to enjoy the Colorado Trail, and we give you detailed information about what to look for along the way. We hiked every hike in the book, so all the tips and highlights are included here. Day hikers enjoy the Colorado Trail differently than thru-hikers, and this book helps them maximize their experience. Day hiking the CT usually involves an out-and-back hike, which means you see the trail and the scenery around you from different angles and in different light over the course of your hike. Day hiking makes it possible to hike earlier in the season, when the wildflowers are blooming at lower elevations. One of the best parts of day hiking the Colorado Trail is reveling in the autumn colors, long after most thru-hikers have stopped backpacking at Colorado's high elevations. Day hiking the CT can be especially quiet and peaceful, since few hiking guides or agencies point visitors to this sometimes-forgotten trail. Hike to sparkling streams, refreshing waterfalls, reflective lakes, glorious passes, and stunning views! In addition to immersing yourself in nature and wilderness, you'll be amazed by the Colorado history you'll experience on the Colorado Trail and the interesting people you'll meet. Thru-hikers come from around the world to experience this unique high-elevation trail, but you don't have to commit to the whole thing all at once. Day hikers can enjoy manageable bits of the trail at their own convenience. Follow in the footsteps of modern-day thru-hikers, historical miners and settlers, and the indigenous people who first set trails through Colorado's Rocky Mountains. This book is best accompanied by the FarOut app and the official Colorado Trail Guidebook, but you can also use this book independently. Coming soon: Volume 2, covering the rest of the trail.

Book Synopsis What We Owe to Ourselves by : Nicole Antoinette
Download or read book What We Owe to Ourselves written by Nicole Antoinette and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you don't want the same things that everyone around you seems to want? How lonely is a life lived off the traditional path? In August 2021, after years of grieving a divorce, living in a tiny van, and grappling with pandemic isolation, former hiker Nicole Antoinette set out to walk all 491 miles of the Colorado Trail. It had been more than two years since her last long-distance hike at that point, and she had no idea if she could still do it. Was it unrealistic to think that she could spend months of each year out in the wilderness? At 36-years-old shouldn't she be focusing on other goals? A career, for instance, or buying a house and putting down roots? What We Owe to Ourselves is a thoughtful and fun adventure memoir, exploring what happens when you decide to turn away from all the "shoulds" and take the risk of defining success for yourself instead.
