There are Mountains to Climb
1996, 214pp. A first person account of hiking the trail, by a 51-year-old conservative career woman with almost no wilderness or camping experience. Highly readable and entertaining, the book provides a simple account of the trials and challenges involved with hiking the trail - as a totally new experience to the uninitiated. Small Press Magazine states that "This is a very positive and loving story. As you read it, you'll get to share Jean's joy without having to cope with the bugs and sweat and burning knees. Read this and you'll feel you can do anything". A great story about a great trip.
