Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
This is a classic!!! And also made into a movie.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
Great book, not so good movie

I loved the book, and I didn’t even know there was a movie. Have you read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek?

Yes. Many. Walk in the Woods was the first. But I’ve read many of his travel books. In A Sunbured Country was one of my favorites. Too. How about you?
