\n A Transformative Journey on the John Muir TrailWINNER OF TWO LITERARY AWARDS
A NEXT GEN INDIE BOOK AWARD FINALIST
In Kirkus Reviews BEST BOOKS OF 2021 issue
“UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDED” \u2014Midwest Book Review<\/p>\n

Set authentically in the High Sierra, The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what\u2019s missing in our lives.<\/p>\n

The Trail is fused with humor, philosophy, and trail lore. Woven in is a back story detailing the origins of the John Muir Trail: a 211-mile trail spanning the rooftop of the Sierra Nevada from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States.<\/p>\n

The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father\u2019s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father\u2019s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail. There\u2019s just one problem: Gil hates camping and is woefully unprepared for the rigors of the journey. Moreover, he soon learns Syd may not survive the hike.<\/p>\n

Former Sierra Club leader Ethan Gallogly takes you on a wild tour across the Range of Light, describing its glorious scenery in vivid detail while introducing you to a diverse cast of characters drawn from his own personal experiences as a hiker.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautifully crafted book, with 43 maps and sketches by acclaimed mountain illustrator Jeremy Ashcroft, showing the topography of each section in clear three-dimensional renderings and peppered with drawings of the trail\u2019s iconic scenery, like the Muir Hut, the Rock Monster, and Evolution Lake.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a hiker, armchair explorer, or someone trying to find what\u2019s really meaningful in life\u2014this book is for you.<\/p>\n
