3.0

This book started off strong with a great premise (a woman taking on a solo ‘great American road trip’), it’s funny, I love hiking and I enjoy national parks. I also appreciated the good, bad, and the ugly context with regards to the environment, how the parks came to be, and how their existence is fraught with colonialism. Even though I am in agreement with her political views 100%, I think they veered into didactic territory and probably turned readers off from the message rather than getting them on board. I wholeheartedly enjoyed learning about parks that I have never visited and googling them as I listened to the book. Overall, entertaining, but your mileage may vary!
