I often equate it with the heyday of Colonial age. My favourite is still Hugh Lofting with his wonderful words and drawings.
Even though Blood Meridian was suppose to be as traumatic and dissuading as possible it still made me want to ride around in the west on my lowly pony

I think Border Trilogy might be even better suited to your tastes.

The Hobbit is legitimately good and isn't necessarily children's literature
I disagree on Hatchet though, it's a chapter book for 4th graders to read
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
A Sportsman's Notebook.
Hunger
Nostromo
Arthur Gordon Pym

Kerouac and Thompson.
Go ahead and kill me, I'm fucking waiting.

Moby Dick is 25% adventure, 75% encyclopedia on all minutiae of 19th century whaling.

Anything by Chrétien de Troyes.
(Don Quixote would agree with this)
Lord Jim

Fear and Loathing and The Road and Dharma Bums and Hell's Angels are all good books but there's not much sense of wonder, it's more of anger, neurosis, angst and drug fueled binge than anything.

The Book of the New Sun
The Odyssey
Heart of Darkness
