More and more women are hitting the trails by themselves and embracing their time in nature. They’re out for the afternoon, for an overnight, and are often inspired to aim for longer, more extensive backpacking trips. Solo hiking can be daunting, though, especially for women, which is where this journal comes in. In it, Jennifer Doehring encourages readers to examine their feelings, to chronicle their journeys, and to celebrate their accomplishments. Delightful illustrations and enlightening nature facts complement prompts such as: At what moment did you most feel yourself? Have you seen any wild animals? Did you stop and chat with other hikers? She also includes fun facts and provides guidance on important skills such as reading maps, tying knots, and recognizing weather patterns. Designed for both beginners and more seasoned explorers, this unique book will remain a testament to nature and the power of women long after the trail is complete.
