Trail Headspace is the answer to the question, "What happens when an economist, accustomed to backing his assertions up with academic research, discovers his best self while hiking a 486-mile trail across the Rockies."
This book is part trail memoir, part wellness guide, and part survival manual for people who think nature is something you scroll past on Instagram. The narrative will jumpstart, freshen and transport previous Colorado Trail hikers back to their own experience. It will also paint a picture for new hikers of what daily trail life looks like hiking all day and eating your meals seated in the dirt.
Sprinkled along the way are a bunch of nuggets on things like the history of the Colorado Trail, wilderness areas, wildflowers, hiker lingo, hiker hacks, naming origins, a famous cannibal, trail name stories and tips to bring back from trail life.
Also included: the wildly unfiltered wisdom of fellow hikers whom I met on the (mile for mile) most beautiful trail in America, most of whom carried everything they owned on their backs and still managed to offer better life advice than your college roommate with the podcast.
By the end, you'll either want to hike the trail yourself... or at least sit in the dirt with a granola bar and pretend.
