 \nWhy do we need time on the trail? What stories do we cherish about walki
 ng in the wild and why? Join four women writers and hikers from around the
  Pacific Northwest who contributed to the anthology Stories from the Trail
 : Field Notes from Moving Through the Wild as they share experiences out o
 n the trail\, hiking as a lifestyle choice\, and reflections that bring to
  light how time moving through the natural world has added to our lives—an
 d thus their contributions to the world—for good. As mothers\, as trail wo
 rkers\, as long-time residents of the North Cascades\, these writers celeb
 rate and interrogate hiking as so much more than sport or recreation. \n\n
