Listened to this on audio while working this week. I enjoyed it a lot! I found it so interesting. I‘m not outdoorsy in the least but I can appreciate why people hike these trails. Not that you‘ll ever talk me into it 😂 But yeah, fascinating and heartbreaking all the while

I‘m not sure what to say about this book without giving away spoilers. It‘s a nonfiction, the Pacific Crest Trail, lost hikers, and while it was not an easy subject it was a fascinating book.

Reminiscent of The Cold Vanish which I was a fan of..I‘m always intrigued by the mysteries involving those who‘ve vanished in the wilderness. Trail of the Lost is the story of the author‘s experience assisting with the searches of 3 missing hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. Each missing hiker was a young man who disappeared around 2016. Family members searching become main characters. Don‘t read for a neat conclusion but for the search.

Alone in the wild
A woman finds her true self
Makes me want to hike
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also, the most meaningful/relatable quote I found in the book:

"That's what fathers do if they don't heal their wounds. They wound their children in the same place."

The most wild thing about this book is that I'm reading something I actually own 😅

There is something about this story that really gets me and I‘m not quite sure what it is. I think both the film and the book tell the tale very well, and dispute Cheryl making mistakes in life, she is such an endearing, strong, likeable person. She owns her mistakes and doesn‘t shy away from the things she‘s done. The book is really raw and she shares so much. It is also so uplifting and inspirational how she decided to turn her life around.

Fascinating and frustrating. This non-fiction story does not wrap up neatly. That being said, the story is very interesting and informative. I was engaged until the very end. Recommend for those who enjoy nature/mysteries/ nonfiction.

What a heartbreaking and inspiring book. 3 hikers disappear from the PCT over the course of a few years and the author tells the story how their families deal with the loss and connect with others who feel compelled to help in the search.

Fascinating read! I loved this one.

I'm not a hiker, but I can understand the pull of those seeking connection with the natural world. Andrea Lankford did a thorough job with her research about three missing hikers and the search to find out what happened to them. She delves into the culture around the hiking world and doesn't shy away from discussing the terrible accidents that can easily claim a hiker's life.
