Put aside the electronics, hoist you pack, and join 8-year-old Venado on the journey of a lifetime—an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. The boy finds adventure everywhere along the trail as he peppers his family with questions and proves the worth of Benton MacKaye’s 91-year-old dream.

– Larry Luxenberg, author of Walking the Appalachian Trail and president of the Appalachian Trail Museum Society
