Going Over the Mountain charts Christine Woodside's evolution as an outdoorswoman with insight and humor that any reader and outdoors lover can appreciate.

Christine Woodside began her outdoors journey in her twenties, following friends and a boyfriend who came up with the idea. From that first trip, Chris grew into an avid outdoorswoman, thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail with her husband and two friends. By her mid-30s she began taking her daughters, who taught her about herself not only as outdoorswoman and mother but a woman in general. Another decade on, she decided she needed to explore alone for a while. The rough-hewn, grubby feminism that developed over the course of Chris’s personal and professional time in these wild places changed her—and maybe her daughters—forever. Going Over the Mountain charts that course with insight and humor that any reader and outdoors lover can appreciate.

Christine Woodside is a writer, historian, and editor. She is editor of Appalachia journal, and has edited and authored various other books, including No Limits But the Sky, New Wilderness Voices, and Libertarians on the Prairie. She lives in Deep River, Connecticut.
