Tyler Golden found himself deep in the stress that comes with modern society, Wall Street-driven expectations, and a mind hyper-focused on the past and future rather than being present in the now. Until one day when he received a phone call to go on a backpack trip. Little did he know, his whole life was about to change.

Over the course of nine trips, Tyler hiked the Colorado Trail in sections with a group of friends-turned-trail family. Each came with their own strengths and quirks. What started off as a one time trip became something much grander and far deeper as Tyler turned from the outer trail to the inner one. 

With stories of personal experiences, humor, vulnerability, and a bit of trail magic, The Trail to Here teaches us how to prepare while learning to let go, to measure growth without comparing to others, how we can find joy in discomfort, to practice acceptance rather than resisting, and how, with a renewed perspective, to have more gratitude. Together on the trail, we'll learn how to practice presence, uncover joy, and how to bring these lessons home to better navigate our own lives.

Part memoir, part trail guide for the soul, this book blends storytelling with research, insights, and resources for mindfulness and spiritual wisdom.

Tyler invites you to take the first step of your journey. And most importantly, just keep hiking.
