After listening to this book last week, my library copy hold came in. I like seeing the pictures after listening and after flipping through the physical copy, I kinda wish I read it rather than listened in this case 😂

1️⃣2️⃣ I miss reading this already, I loved it!
My son is planning a thru-hike next summer on this trail and I‘ve taken a few backpacking adventures on the Appalachian Trail so I enjoyed learning about the Pacific Crest Trail and search & rescue. My son is looking at National Park and/or Forest careers and possibly search & rescue so it was a great way to explore what a career like this would look like. My heart breaks for the families of the missing.
@DebinHawaii It‘s been a good week ❤️ The tagged book is my current audiobook. @Graciouswarriorprincess Share your positives! #5JoysFriday
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
This was such a fantastic audio book (although I wish Cheryl read it herself)! I had the pleasure of going to see Cheryl speak at our county library yearly event and she was wonderful, I loved hearing the story in person even more. I felt like I was with her on the trail, in the hospital room with her mother and at all the life events in between. What a life she lived before she was 30. Such an inspiration and a beautiful writer.
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."
