About this listen

A behind-the-scenes edition of 2,000 Miles Together, offering over four hours of bonus content featuring interviews and insights by the Crawford family. Not available in other formats.

As his six children slept on the dirty floor of a women’s restroom while a blizzard howled outside, Ben Crawford had one thought: Have I gone too far? The next morning, Child Protective Services, along with an armed sheriff, arrived to ask the same question.

2,000 Miles Together is the story of the largest family ever to complete a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, defying skeptics and finding friends in the unlikeliest of places. On the trail, Ben Crawford battled not only the many dangers and obstacles presented by the wilderness - snowstorms, record-breaking heat, Lyme disease, overflowing rivers, toothaches, rattlesnakes, forest fires, and spending the night with a cult - but also his own self-doubt. In an effort to bring his family closer together, was he jeopardizing his future relationship with his kids? When the hike was done, would any of them speak to him again?

The Crawford family’s self-discovery over five months, thousands of miles, and countless gummy bears proves that there’s more than one way to experience life to the fullest. You don’t have to accept the story you’ve been shown. By leaving home, you’ll find more than just adventure - you’ll find a new perspective on the relationships we often take for granted, and open yourself up to a level of connection you never thought possible.

really enjoyed this book, voices, a.d experiences of this family especially as children are kept more as pets rather than learning g how to deal with life as they grow.
many times as generousity was offered I felt choked with shared emotions.
Occasionally when I felt Father's ego was overlapping the family, it was endearing to hear his own reflection and checking himself.
finally that's the best education for each of us, learning about ourselves! I feel ready so connected to the Crawforfds!

This is a wonderful audiobook about what it is really like to go for a very long walk with children. If you find the first few chapters hard going, stick with it… the people they meet bring alive what hiking is all about. The children narrate their journal entries, which makes the audiobook even more real life. This is not a story, it is a documentary in book form. It is human emotions coming out, raw parenting truths, bringing family together… not just theirs but the whole hiking family.

Wonderful, raw… just beautiful
