Rue McKenrick is the founder of the American Perimeter Trail (APT)-a proposed 14,000-mile trail encircling the United States. Since 2019, he has spent years on foot scouting and documenting this route, producing one of the most ambitious trail-building efforts in the country. The American Perimeter Trail book series documents that journey. This is not just a story of miles. It is a record of landscapes, communities, conservation challenges, and the long-term vision of establishing a future National Scenic Trail. The American Perimeter Trail is an extension of that effort-a long-term conservation corridor intended to connect and protect landscapes across the United States, while reinforcing the value of shared public lands.
Review by Dr. Gabriella Kőrösi
This book offers the beauty of backpacking through the south and the heartaches and pains of life. It is the true reality of survival from sickness, loss of loved ones, and poverty. What would one do in near-death and near-starvation situations? Read this book and find out. Rue says it is how it is, no shyness, no cover-up. The raw truth of being on the trail. The truth of what it means to be away from your community. Hardships and joy. What is the goal? Preservation, conservation, and the raw truth of life. Protecting what we can, and not the ways it was done before. Rue speaks the words that many people do not, the justifications for the injustice of the land and Native American Indians. And, of course, there is more. Backpacks by the Mexican border, being held at gunpoint, being searched by police. Of course, there is nature, kindness, and love. I love this book so very much, just like the first one. It is not for the faint-hearted. Backpacking through America is no easy task. I am grateful to know that Rue is alive and well and continuing his love for nature and conservation. This book touched my heart. I am certain, dear reader, that it will touch your heart as well. With the highest recommendation and love, enjoy the journey.
