Book Overview

by Derick Lugo (Author)

"A Fabulous Thru-Hike gives you the feeling of traversing the Continental Divide Trail with a storyteller, comedian, and friend. It is a lighthearted and uplifting read from one of the most challenging trails in North America---a tale that instills the significance of adventure and human kindness." -- Jennifer Pharr Davis

New York City native Derick Lugo's life changed in 2012 when he spontaneously decided to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. In the years that followed, he became an advocate for the outdoors and eventually set out on his second thru-hike--this time on the Continental Divide Trail, one of the most challenging long trails in the world.

A Fabulous Thru-Hike: 3,100 Miles on the Continental Divide Trail is the relatable, laugh-out-loud story of Derick Lugo's six-month adventure. From the deserts of New Mexico to the rugged mountains of Montana, Derick confronts heat sickness, vertigo, and self-doubt--all with his trademark optimism. There are plenty of missteps and hard lessons, but also classic moments of trail magic, natural beauty, and deep friendships.

Capturing both the grueling reality and transformative beauty of life on the CDT, Lugo invites readers along for a journey that is both inspiring and entertaining. Whether he's questioning his choices on a sun-scorched ridgeline or finding joy in a package of Oreos, A Fabulous Thru-Hike is a celebration of perseverance, self-discovery, and the courage to keep moving forward.

About Derick Lugo

Derick Lugo had never hiked or camped a day in his life. This Brooklyn-born, New York City urbanite hopped a train to Georgia, grabbed a taxi at the station, and told the cab driver to drop him off at the beginning of the Appalachian Trail. Then he did as he has always done--put one foot in front of the other and never looked back. After hiking for more than 2,000 miles, he now feels invincible and plans to cross the Sahara barefoot. (Not really, but when an ambitious spirit is successful, it will strive for even greater accomplishments.) The Unlikely Thru-Hiker is his debut memoir.
