The Appalachian Trail Girl's Guide: Part Memoir, Part Manifesto
After graduating from college, Megan embarked on her thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. While she had a lively and beautiful six month journey, she noticed that there were not a lot of women on the trail. She wants to change that by inspiring other women to hit the A.T. and feel confident in their own backpacking abilities.
In this book, Megan uses her own trials and errors to guide readers through their gear selections, mental preparation, dealing with weary friends and family, avoiding potentially dangerous situations, and everything else you need to know to be a successful solo girl in the wilderness.
