First Sunrise Treks: Welcoming the New Year from the World's Peaks is a journey of discovery, reflection, and renewal. Join the author on a global quest to witness the first sunrise of each year-from a quiet ridge near childhood home to volcanic peaks above the clouds, and finally to the frozen Arctic horizons.Through immersive first-person narrative, the book captures the physical challenges of each trek and the profound emotional and spiritual awakenings they inspire. Readers experience the tension of pre-dawn darkness, the exhilaration of climbing rugged terrain, and the quiet awe of watching the sun crest mountains, volcanoes, and icefields.More than a travel memoir, this book explores the symbolic power of beginnings, the courage required to step into the unknown, and the transformative impact of nature's rhythms. Each chapter is a testament to patience, presence, and the enduring promise of light after darkness.Whether you are an armchair traveler, a hiking enthusiast, or someone seeking inspiration for personal renewal, First Sunrise Treks offers both adventure and introspection-a guide to meeting each new year with clarity, courage, and wonder.
