Midnight Trails

Midnight Trails: Hiking Under the Moon & Stars is a deeply personal journey into the art, challenge, and quiet magic of exploring the wilderness after sunset. Told entirely from the author's own first-hand experiences, it's more than a how-to guide - it's a lantern held high for anyone curious about stepping onto a trail when the rest of the world is asleep.

Across fifteen richly detailed chapters and an extensive resources section, you'll walk alongside the author through moonlit ridges, fog-shrouded valleys, and quiet forests where the air is thick with scent and sound. Each page blends practical instruction - gear, navigation, safety, and wildlife awareness - with reflective storytelling that captures the raw beauty and occasional unpredictability of hiking in darkness.
