Books to Inspire Adventure

Tootsie and AKshepra Feet

Hiking the AT has been a dream of mine since high school.  I can't really remember what sparked my interest but it has always been there.  While AKsherpa and I were preparing for this trip we came across some great books.  Two of the books that we really enjoyed was the Barefoot Sisters:South Bound and the Barefoot Sisters:Walking Home.  These ladies really know how to write.  They make you feel like you are walking along side of them on the trail.

Another book that had us laughing out loud and in stitches was A Walk in the Woods.  Some of you may have seen the movie.  The movie was good but the book is sooo much better.  Bill Bryson is a great writer.  He also weaves a lot of interesting facts and history about the trail into the book.

Here are a couple more books suggested by The Trek that should make for a good read as well!

If you have any suggestions for books that inspire adventure be sure to leave them in the comments.
