A really good book if you are not white and superfit. Actually, even then. This book explores the nuances of doing athletic things (focus on hiking but including kayaking, climbing,yoga, backpacking, etc.) even if you don’t fit the “athletic” body type.
With stories of real people interwoven with the author’s own experiences, you get a gamut of the experiences “nontraditional” hikers have had being out on the trails. Each of the interstitials also include a favorite hike with information about bathrooms, ADA-compliance, distance, elevation gain, address, and how to find the trailhead.
