Veterans Find Peace on America's Trails

Veterans Find Peace on America’s Trails
Illustration by Bryce Ross Gladfelter
The remote woods and mountains—accessed on long, challenging thru-hikes—are places of healing for former soldiers who suffer from the trauma of war.
Spending time in nature, or “ecotherapy,” is increasingly recognized as a helpful therapy for people suffering from PTSD. It’s a path to recovery that Cindy Ross promotes in her new book, Walking Toward Peace: Veterans Healing on America’s Trails

He undertakes a physically and emotionally challenging hike—as a memorial to his friend, and in search of some peace.
