Synopsis
Every year, more than a million people take to the Ice Age Trail-but only a few intrepid thru-hikers become Thousand-Milers. Melanie Radzicki McManus joined their rugged ranks after an exhilarating thirty-six-day trek of the National Scenic Trail that winds its way along Wisconsin's glacial moraine. With hard-earned wisdom and a hearty dose of humor, McManus shares thrilling tales from the trail, from close encounters with wildlife to serendipitous run-ins with fellow hikers. Woven throughout her account are details of the Ice Age Trail's history and geologic features, as well as useful tips and strategies for under taking a successful long-distance-or even not-so-long-distance-hike. Whether you're planning an epic journey or enjoying the trail one yellow blaze at a time, this book is packed with all the inspiration and insight needed for a rewarding walk in the Wisconsin wild. Book jacket., In thirty-six thrilling days, Melanie Radzicki McManus hiked 1,100 miles around Wisconsin, landing her in the elite group of Ice Age Trail thru-hikers known as the Thousand-Milers. In prose that's alternately harrowing and humorous, Thousand-Miler takes you with her through Wisconsin's forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms, past the geologic wonders carved by long-ago glaciers, and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Follow along as she worries about wildlife encounters, wonders if her injured feet will ever recover, and searches for an elusive fellow hiker known as Papa Bear. Woven throughout her account are details of the history of the still-developing Ice Age Trail--one of just eleven National Scenic Trails--and helpful insight and strategies for undertaking a successful thru-hike. In addition to chronicling McManus's hike, Thousand-Miler also includes the little-told story of the Ice Age Trail's first-ever thru-hiker Jim Staudacher, an account of the record-breaking thru-run of ultrarunner Jason Dorgan, the experiences of a young combat veteran who embarked on her thru-hike as a way to ease back into civilian life, and other fascinating tales from the trail. Their collective experiences shed light on the motivations of thru-hikers and the different ways hikers accomplish this impressive feat, providing an entertaining and informative read for outdoors enthusiasts of all levels., Head "into the wild" on a thru-hiking journey along the famous Ice Age Trail with wanderer and wonderer Melanie Radzicki McManus. In thirty-six days, McManus hiked the National Scenic Trail's 1,100 miles, landing her in the elite group of thru-hikers known as the "Thousand-Milers." In prose that's alternately harrowing and humorous, she winds readers through forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Woven throughout are details of the trail's history and helpful insights for undertaking a successful thru-hike.
