When your sibling or parent dies, the loss can be heart-breaking and difficult to overcome. Jeff Alt’s wife, Beth, lost her brother and was having a really hard time coping. His solution: Take his wife on one the most challenging hikes possible, traveling 218 miles through three national forests in the toughest section of the Pacific Crest Trail in California, The John Muir Trail. The trip is chronicled in his book, “FOUR BOOTS One Journey: A Story of Survival, Awareness & Rejuvenation on the John Muir Trail” (fourbootsonejourney.com). It’s an entertaining, insightful and inspiring story that helps others find courage to face life’s challenges.
