I only picked this up to complete the StoryGraph reading challenge of a travel memoir. It’s also on the Rory Gilmore reading challenge list. 

I ended up enjoying this more than I thought. I, myself, have gotten into hiking and specifically want to hike the Grand Canyon, so this resonated with me. 

It was a beautiful story of finding oneself, examining life, and understanding your needs. 

I enjoyed the structure of the book and how there were jumps in time, but it all flowed together pretty well. It gave backstory and wasn’t too distracting.
