Author Cheryl Strayed's memoir of her hike on the Pacific Crest Trail has become one of the most popular reads of the summer. Here are 8 stories from 'Wild.'
Strayed wrote that she later married her husband at a spot near the Bridge of the Gods, where her Pacific Crest Trail journey ended, and she brought back her husband and their two children to have ice cream at the spot at the end of the trail so she could tell them about her trip. But she said that at the moment she had finished her trip, it was enough for her that she didn't know what the future held. "I didn't have to know," she said. "It was enough to trust that what I'd done was true."
