I'm saving the overstory, the invention of nature, wild and a john muir collection for the summer when I'll be backpacking the Appalachian trail and working remotely from remote cabins in the northeast.

I'm so excited! Any other recommendations would be great!

The Wild Trees by Richard Preston. It would probably be more fitting for the Pacific Crest Trail, but I think you'd appreciate it anyway.

I'm not too picky about location. Wild takes place on the PCT and John muir's writings are mostly northwest focused. It's more about the feeling of being in nature I guess. The vibe not necessarily the location.

I bought The Overstory in a small bookshop in Guerneville. First time seeing the Redwoods. Seemed appropriate.

Race Across Alaska is a great book for the outdoors!

A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson! Also a really great audiobook

ooooOOOooo I actually wrote that one down for this trip almost a year ago and then completely forgot about it! Great reminder! I will definitely be adding and will probably do that one on audiobook while I'm hiking.
