Man In The Middle

The Continental Divide Trail follows the Rocky Mountains up New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. This is Illig's account of his hike.
"Written in the best tradition of literary travel logs, Illig's narrative weaves a rich tapestry of trail culture, the people he meets and the Herculean efforts of Illig's own hiking accomplishment. We not only get the details of how one begins and executes a four-month-long through-hike, but we get a sense of the author through the strong voice that runs throughout the book." --Peter Laurie
