Just a Long Walk

Pressing the reset button on your life isn’t easy. When James Gibson realized he was heading in the wrong direction, he set out on a hiking journey that changed his life. His is a universal story, not just a backpacking story. Overcoming fears and phobias while awakening to the possibility of a better life, he takes us on a special trip to the mountains, a place he calls his gym and his church. His odyssey includes introspection, discovery, memorable characters, forest fires, a mountain lion encounter, Sierra history, and ultimately, meeting the love of his life. If you ever wondered “what if,” this is the book to inspire you to dream and to try.
