This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "Snowbound: Hiking the PCT in 2023’s Record Snow Year – Volume 2" continues Riley Riffel’s journey through one of the harshest seasons the Pacific Crest Trail has ever seen. With deep snow still clinging to the mountains and wildfires closing in from the north, every mile demanded more than just endurance—it asked for surrender. This volume follows Riley into the second half of the trail, where the physical toll mounts and the silence grows louder. A mountain lion encounter shakes his sense of safety. New shoes bring unexpected pain. Loneliness weighs heavier than his pack. But even in the struggle, there’s clarity: every hardship reveals something true. From fire detours to digital cries for help, from breakdowns to quiet triumphs, Riley learns to let go of control, walk with uncertainty, and stay present—step by step. This isn’t just a continuation of a hike. It’s the next chapter in a deeper reckoning—and a reminder that the real trail is the one we walk within.
