A return journey on the Appalachian Trail

Trail Gimp is a memoir of an Appalachian Trail thru-hike shaped by grief, uncertainty, and a second chance at an unfinished goal. April Weygand first sets out with little preparation, but injuries cut that attempt short. Two years later, she returns to complete the route from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to Mount Katahdin, Maine. Along the way, the book brings together the practical disruptions of long-distance hiking—setbacks, mishaps, and trail support—with a personal account of rebuilding confidence through difficult choices. The 2,160-mile trek provides the framework for a story of persistence and self-discovery.
