2. Jack Kerouac on Wandering

Jack Kerouac and his book On the Road have inspired many adventurers to set out on epic road trips and journeys. If you are a fan of road trips and van life you should check out On the Road. There really is "nowhere to go but everywhere" so get out there and start exploring!

3. Jim Whittaker on Living Adventurously 

Fellow Seattleite Jim Whittaker is a living legend. He was the first American to summit Everest, a founding member, and CEO of REI, and has lived his life on the edge for decades. So don't get too comfortable, get out there on the edge and live an adventurous life.

4. William Wordsworth on Learning from Nature

Wordsworth found poetic inspiration in nature. Many great authors and poets find inspiration in the great outdoors for the same reason hikers and backpackers seek out nature because it inspires and teaches in subtle and powerful ways. 

"Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher." - William Wordsworth

 

5. Kurt Vonnegut on Going and Doing

Kurt Vonnegut might not be known as a big hiker, but he is one of our all-time favorite authors. Grab one of his paperback novels and they are short enough to be the perfect lightweight reading for a weekend backpacking trip.
