Fourteen-year-old Nolan Voss thought the trail would always lead him back.
But when thick fog rolls across a remote Virginia mountain ridge and one wrong turn sends him crashing far below the marked route, everything changes. His bike is destroyed. His phone is useless.
Alone in the Appalachian wilderness with only a pocket knife, a torn poncho, a few emergency supplies, and the will to keep moving, Nolan must survive cold nights, thunderstorms, hunger, dangerous terrain, wild animals, and the dark entrance of an abandoned mine.
As the days pass and rescue seems farther away, Nolan faces a choice: keep waiting where no one can see him, or follow the water downhill and risk everything on the hope that the valley leads home.
Where the Trail Ends is a gripping, fast-paced survival adventure filled with wilderness danger, suspense, courage, and heart. Perfect for readers who enjoy mountain survival stories, outdoor adventure, lost-in-the-wilderness fiction, young adult survival books, Appalachian adventure, and clean action-packed stories about determination, resilience, and finding strength when every choice matters.
