A Young Woman Hiking In The Klamath Mountains Beginner S Luck: Dispatches From The Klamath Mountains

By Nicole Walker

In the Klamath Mountains of northern California, where towering pines and sparkling rivers meet rugged peaks and remote valleys, Nicole Walker found her place in the world. A young woman from the suburbs, Nicole moved to the mountains with her husband in search of a simpler life, closer to nature. What she found was a community of characters, both human and animal, who taught her the meaning of resilience, resourcefulness, and belonging.

In Beginner's Luck, Nicole shares her adventures in the Klamath Mountains with honesty and humor. From learning to track animals to cooking wild mushrooms, she offers a unique perspective on the beauty and challenges of living in the wilderness. Along the way, she meets a cast of unforgettable characters, including a mountain man who lives off the grid, a Native American elder who teaches her about the land, and a group of women who form a tight-knit community in the face of adversity.
