Forest Under My Fingernails: Reflections and Encounters on the Long Trail

Forest Under My Fingernails is a beautifully written book about a 267 mile, 33 day backpacking trip. At different times gently introspective, humorous, and thought-provoking, this book explores the changes we go through as we gradually immerse ourselves in the deep woods, and the different rhythms we experience there. Walt's work is relatively unknown, but we regard him as one of the most eloquent nature authors and poets writing today.
