AlbakiReads Editorial

An Appalachian Trail journey built one day at a time

Dennis Heller’s Appalachian Trail account traces an empty nester’s expanding relationship with the route, beginning with a modest fifty-mile goal in Pennsylvania and developing over more than a decade of day hikes, section hikes, and longer outings. Organized around individual hiking days, it documents changing ambitions alongside sore feet, long drives, trail towns, setbacks, and memorable encounters. The book also maps the social world around the AT, connecting its terrain with the people, places, and events encountered along the way. Detailed attention to each section’s character and relative difficulty gives the narrative a practical dimension as well as a personal one.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Day and section hikers interested in the Appalachian Trail
  • Hikers planning routes from individual day hikes to longer sections
  • Readers interested in personal accounts of outdoor pursuits and trail communities

Book overview

More Than One Way chronicles the eleven years and counting of an empty nester who, while not looking for something to do, was grabbed by the Appalachian Trail. The story begins with a short day hike and evolves into personal growth, life changing experiences, and fun along the way. The book is a window into the community that is the Appalachian Trail. It is a road map for day and section hikers, describing the people, places, and events that are the AT. There are successes, failures, magic moments, and disappointments. Dennis started his hike in his home state of Pennsylvania with the small goal of hiking the northern most fifty miles, hiking one day at a time. Not deterred by sore feet and a lot of driving, he expanded his goals north and south for the next five years, hiking only single days until he got too far from home. His experiences expanded into three day and then longer trips to day hike sections, while staying in local trail towns to enjoy the AT experience. Each day's hike is described in detail giving the reader an intimate knowledge of the section, its character, and relative difficulty.
