Snowbound available now

In 2023, the Pacific Crest Trail was swallowed by the deepest snowpack in history. Most hikers waited for a better year. Riley laced his boots, hoisted his pack, and walked north.

Snowbound is the story of one hiker’s path through 2,650 miles of relentless winter and the even harder terrain within. Battling exhaustion, river crossings, and weeks of silence, Riley confronted not just the weight of snow, but the weight of his past.

When purchased from the publisher directly, 30% of the cover price will be donated to the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
