Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail

By: Andrea Lankford

3.76

Format: 352 pages, Hardcover

From a former law enforcement park ranger and investigator, this female-driven true crime adventure…

"A solo woman is more likely to survive a perilous incident in the outdoors than a solo man. Yet, the average female hiker fears for her safety more than the average guy does. Ironically, this phenomenon, dubbed the Fear-Gender Paradox, may be why women fare better, because their angst makes them behave more cautiously. Meanwhile, their overconfident male peers are taking more risks and suffering the consequences."
