Not just another book about hiking the Appalachian
Trail. Not saying that would be a bad
thing. Those books are great. This one
goes way beyond the AT. It explores the
whole concept of what a trail is and how they are made over time. John Moor visits people studying ancient
trails made by now extinct organisms. He
describes how ants and elephants make trails that others can follow. He reviews the expansions of the AT all the
way to Morocco! All along he laces these
bits with pieces of his experience in the wild, which ties it all
together. I liked this book a lot!
