From the publisher's website:
Beth Alt is a woman who prefers hotels, hot showers, and warm beds.
But her husband, Jeff, persuades her to go out of her comfort zone and
attempt a journey that even seasoned hikers find extremely difficult.
Together they walk the entire John Muir Trail—over 218 miles of rugged
remote mountain terrain traversing three national parks—in her brother’s
memory as a depression awareness campaign. Their breathtaking scenic
hike is riddled with adventure, humor, and inspiration. From the moment
they set foot on the trail, the fast paced adventure begins with
menacing bears, lightning bolts, a mountain rescue, the constant threat
of cougars, food shortages, fascinating characters, and altitude
sickness.
Four Boots One Journey is an entertaining adventure on the John Muir Trail—and a story of what survival really means. The
further they travel down the trail, the more Beth and Jeff discover
things they never knew about each other—and with Jeff’s help, Beth
becomes a true nomadic survivor. Not only does she complete the
expedition, she discovers the joys of backpacking with her husband. They
emerge from the trail with their marriage strengthened and their souls
rejuvenated.
