At the Trailhead

About the Book

Bryson takes us on a journey from Maine to Georgia as we experience life on the Appalachian Trail. As he writes nightly by headlamp he gives his account of the characters he meets along the way (including a Samurai) and the places he lays eyes on. As we walk with Bryson through his trek, he unveils the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life. We are inspired to tackle challenges in our own lives one step at a time and know that we can do anything we convince ourselves we really want to do. At the Trailhead is a compilation of Bryson’s journal entries that were sent to his hometown newspaper, the Mitchell News-Journal, during his time on the trail. He has many readers who followed his trip closely. Through his words, they were able to walk with him along the Appalachian Trail.
