Praise for The Last Mile Is Always Three
Brenda Sheiss—Hiker
I just finished your book, and I was so moved. It brought back so many memories of beautiful places
and lifelong friendships. Thank you for describing it so perfectly.
I could picture every chapter as I read, and I will treasure it forever.

Read your book. I LOVE your writing style! Chapter 22 is my favorite, and of course,
the parts where you make me look smart! Good Job!!!!
Shameless Plug from Author's Daughter
Brittany Alyse Voss
I need everyone to know that my mom is not only an amazing human—but an amazing AUTHOR. She just wrote a book inspired by a group of strong, hilarious, adventurous hiking women, and it’s full of heart, friendship, and those conversations that only happen on the trail.
If you love stories about women, connection, laughter, and a little adventure, this one’s for you. Support a local author (and my very talented mom!) and grab a copy—

Literally cannot wait for this!! I’ve gone on 2 hikes with these amazing ladies.
I'm so excited to learn more about their adventures and lives.
Gushing over The Last Mile Is Always Three
Andrea Barragan—Hiker
"Today, I will splash across a couple of the Teton’s streams
in the company of a dynamic, long-surviving group of hikers.”
This sentence took me back to the year I had the pleasure of meeting Cathryn Farr, the author of
The Last Mile is Always Three, and accepted her invitation to join a remarkable group of warrior women hikers—women rich with stories from long ago, yet fully alive and thriving in the present.
Nothing could have prepared me for the experience that followed.
Hiking alongside these admirable women, I found myself dwarfed not just by their physical stature,
but by their grit, courage, determination, and lived experience—balanced beautifully by hearts as soft and refreshing as the first snow of winter. Each woman portrayed in The Last Mile Is Always Three is someone we can admire and recognize in our own journey through life.
If you’ve ever hiked, you’ll smile, laugh, and cry.
If you haven’t, you’ll want to experience hiking at least once. Open this book. Walk with these women. Let their stories challenge you, strengthen you, and remind you that it’s never too late to lace up your boots and take the next step. Read it—and be inspired to keep going,
no matter where you are on the trail.
From Goodreads
The Mountains are Calling!
Kari
The Mountains are calling and so are your friends! Love the stories of the hikers who never quit. This story is a great read that describes so well the love of hiking and how it mirrors the ups and downs of life. Both are better with a group of friends.
Lauren Cris
Definitely a must-read. There are moments in life when being on your own can feel overwhelming, and this story really reminded me how important it is to have people who support you.
Cathryn Farr shares a heartfelt story of resilience and friendship that feels very real and relatable. It is not just about the trails, but about life, connection, and continuing to show up even when things are hard. It felt honest, inspiring, and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this.
