Venturing down from Seldovia, Alaska, having already logged more than 3,000 miles hiking Alaska’s wilderness before starting the adventure around which her book revolves, Erin McKittrick shares impressions from an epic journey with her husband between Puget Sound and the Bering Sea.

Conservationists aiming to raise awareness of global climate change, the two traveled solely by human power and encountered relentless rain, ferocious winds, blizzards and bears, as well as visiting the tiny communities along the way.

Their book reflects a better understanding  of the interplay between human realms, ecosystems, and natural resources. “Whether discussing politics with off-the-grid back-to-the-landers, spooking a grizzly from the underbrush, repairing gear with dental floss, or catching a still-warm pizza from the sky, Erin and Hig experience a rich and varied coast, a world facing destructive change, but with hope for a sustainable future.” Publisher marketing
