TWO HIKERS. ONE JOURNEY. EVERYTHING CHANGES. WINNER OF TWO LITERARY AWARDS - A NEXT GEN INDIE BOOK AWARD FINALIST - IN KIRKUS REVIEWS' BEST BOOKS OF 2021 ISSUE - "UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDED" - MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Set authentically in the High Sierra, The Trail is a moving story about how nature helps us find what's missing in our lives. Blending adventure, humor, history, and trail lore into a narrative that resonates with hikers and armchair explorers alike. The novel follows Gil-recently fired from his job and still grieving the death of his father-who reluctantly agrees to accompany his father's old hiking partner, Syd, on a month-long trek along the John Muir Trail. There's 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. As the trail tests them in ways neither had anticipated, their journey becomes one of friendship, overcoming loss, and the unexpected clarity found in wild places. Woven into the story is the history of the John Muir Trail, the backdrop for their transformative journey through the Range of Light. Former Sierra Club leader Ethan Gallogly takes you on a sweeping tour across the High Sierra, describing its glorious scenery in vivid detail while introducing you to a diverse cast of characters drawn from his more than 30 years of experience as a hiker. The book includes 43 maps and sketches by acclaimed mountain illustrator Jeremy Ashcroft, offering three-dimensional renderings of the terrain and depictions of iconic landmarks such as the Muir Hut, the Rock Monster, and Evolution Lake. The Trail is both a celebration of the High Sierra and a testament to the transformative power of nature.
