Consider Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Recommended by 12 sources.
“Wild is an intimate, voice-driven memoir that mixes detailed trail scenes with extended personal memory and reckoning. Its useful part is the candid, often lyrical account of walking 1,100 miles while working through recent bereavement and life rupture; those emotional passages hit hardest when paired with concrete moments on the trail. Main limitation: the narrative frequently detours into interior monologue and repetition, so readers wanting strict chronology, practical hiking info, or brisk pacing may find stretches slow or indulgent.”
