Author, Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World.
2011 PCT thru-hiker who made it from Mexico to Canada
“Refreshingly bumpy. Written with self-deprecating humor, Seven Summers seems part Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, part Barney Mann’s Journeys North, but all uniquely The Oregon Boys.”
—REES HUGHES
Co-Editor, Crossing Paths: A Pacific Crest Trailside Reader
“With Twain-like humor and humility, Welch reveals life on one of America’s greatest trails ... Makes you laugh out loud, and sometimes cringe in sympathy ... Well worth the trip.”
—JAMES MEACHAM
Co-Editor, The Atlas of Oregon
“A splendid tale of American can-do-ism delivered by a master storyteller ... One needn’t be a long-distance hiker to be captivated by this remarkably crafted story of friendship, teamwork, and commitment.”
—STUART MCDOWELL
Author, The Last Lighthouse Keeper
“Toggles from reverence to irreverence, taking us to spiritual heights on lofty peaks, then hurtling us back down to earth ... You’re going to love this book!”
