Description

Carrot Quinn is weary of a life of screens in a city where she feels disconnected from everyone. In a desperate move she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail.

In the desert of Southern California, Carrot faces many challenges, both physical and emotional: injury, blisters, aching cold and searing heat, dehydration, exhaustion, and loneliness. In the wilderness she happens upon and becomes close with an eclectic group of strangers—people she wouldn't have met in the “regular world,” but who are brought together on the trail by their common goal of making it to Canada before the snow flies.

Ditching the city for the wilderness — walking from Mexico to Canada against all odds.
