Twenty miles with the March sisters.
Louisa May Alcott never measures the Marches’ world in miles. StoryTrek’s route sets it at 20 miles, with 8 waypoints drawn from the story. Every walk, run, or treadmill session your phone records moves you closer to Plumfield.
How long the journey takes
| You walk | You reach the end in |
|---|---|
| 1 mile a day (2 km) | about 20 days |
| 2 miles a day (3 km) | about 10 days |
| 3 miles a day (5 km) | about 7 days |
| 5 miles a day (8 km) | about 4 days |
A 10,000-step day is roughly 4 to 5 miles, which gets you to the end in about 5 days.
Four sisters, one short road.
The trail begins at Orchard House, the March family home, and follows Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy through the places that shaped them, where friendships form, hearts break, and the family holds together to the end in the gardens of Plumfield. It is the shorter of StoryTrek’s two Little Women routes; Little Women: A Journey Home follows the sisters for 100 miles.
Each waypoint pairs one of Jessie Willcox Smith’s warm, softly colored paintings with a moment from the book. Arrive at one, and the path to the next is yours to walk.
Walk it together
Start a company and walk it with your sisters, a friend, or a book club. Everyone logs their own miles, wherever they are, and the whole group finds its way to Plumfield together.
