Time in the Year of the Bluebird

Time in Year of the Bluebird is thoroughly engaging look at the circumstances that lead a man to walk the Pacific Crest Trail in honor of his ailing mother. As much an homage, a travelogue, and a treatise on the natural world, it lures the reader over the switchbacks at a blazing clip alongside the realities and mysteries of a thru-hike; packed with all the logistics, challenges, trail magic, aftermath, and for any seeker, an honest level of commentary about the paths we forge, forget, and often rediscover deep in the woods.
