“That’s for White people.” A phrase that infuriated Gary Wilkerson, Jr. as a young, Black kid asking to do outdoorsy things, like camping. He wasn’t old enough to understand that it was a warning, passed down from generations of Black Americans who weren’t permitted to explore the outdoors for fear of being killed. To confront this inherited fear, Gary resolves to conquer the Pacific Crest Trail, a grueling 2,600 mile thru-hike from Mexico to Canada that takes six months to complete.
