50 Hikes. 50 States Project: Discovering America

By Chris Englert

What if the best way to understand America... was one trail at a time?

In 50 Hikes 50 States, one family sets out on an unforgettable journey to hike in every U.S. state-discovering not just landscapes, but the people, stories, and moments that define the country in a time of rapid change.

From prairie dog towns in North Dakota to hurricane-threatened beaches in Delaware, from quiet forest paths in Virginia to iconic national parks out west, each chapter blends vivid travel storytelling with the emotional highs and lows of life on the road. Along the way, the author captures:

- Unexpected friendships in unlikely places
- Wildlife encounters that range from magical to mildly terrifying
- The humor, exhaustion, and joy of family adventure
- A country seen not through headlines-but through human moments

This is not a guidebook. It's not a checklist.
It's a heartfelt, funny, and often moving portrait of America-experienced one hike at a time.

Perfect for readers who love:
- Travel memoirs
- Outdoor adventure
- National parks and hidden gems
- Stories about family, resilience, and connection

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or an armchair explorer, 50 Hikes 50 States will make you laugh, reflect, and see the United States in a whole new way-one trail, one town, one story at a time.

This book is the prequel to the series, To Travel a Nomad Life.
