Own choosing- Amanda Ewen

Sundance’s Trail Journal


            While I was reading Sundance’s trail journal I felt like I was on the trail with him.  He explained all about trail magic, the hospitality he received, and how he encouraged others.  Through reading his journal I learned a lot about how the hikers on the trail interact and how kind they are to each other.  He also told us about the struggles of the trail.  There are mental and physical struggles throughout the trail.  The mental struggles include not feeling like you can finish the trail, being lonely, and not being able to overcome the everyday struggles.  The physical struggles include the actual walking of the trail, the injuries that you encounter, and the hunger.  Sundance described nature and how the trail looked along the way.   Reading the trail journals helps me better understand why people commit to doing the trail.  You really learn something about yourself and other people while hiking the trail.
