Get ready for the sublime beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail. From the Mojave Desert, through the soaring peaks of the Sierra Nevada, to Canada, traversing the American West is not for the faint-hearted. Pristine mountain lakes, nights under the stars, and spontaneous friendships forged over camp-fires reward hikers who stay the course. Tim Voors a passionate long-distance hiker who walked the trail alone over the course of six months details everything you need to know; hiking etiquette, planning food re-supply boxes, and navigating bear territory. Lushly illustrated and featuring spectacular photography, the 2,650-mile (4,265-km) journey comes to life in The Great Alone.

As much about physical and mental endurance as it is about overcoming loneliness and fear, ultimately The Great Alone is about the power of the wilderness to restore the human spirit. Voors’s infectious enthusiasm invites you to grab a backpack and set off on an adventure to rediscover yourself. The world is waiting.

准备好迎接太平洋山脊小径的美景。从莫哈维沙漠一直到内华达山脉的高耸云峰，再到加拿大，横跨美国西部，而这旅行并不适合胆小鬼。原始的山区湖泊，繁星下的夜晚，围着篝火自发产生的友情，都是对坚持不懈的徒步旅行者的奖励。Tim Voors(作者)是一位充满热情的长距离徒步旅行者，曾经独自一人走了6个月的路。他在本书中详细记录了你所需要知道的一切；徒步旅行礼仪，规划食物补给箱以及在熊出没区域做好导航。书中插图精美丰富，涵盖壮美景观的照片，《孤独的伟人》一书将这一段2650英里（4265公里）的旅程带到了读者眼前。
在旅行中，与身体、精神上的耐力同等重要的是克服孤独与恐惧，归根结底，《孤独的伟人》一书讲述的是荒原山野重塑人类精神的力量。Voors富有感染力的热情邀请着读者拿起旅行背包，开始一段重新发现自我的奇遇。整个世界都在等着你。
