We’re starting a New Year and it’s a good time to revive the PNW Book Club- BTW, it’s a club within a club and everyone’s a member. **The Trail** by Ethan Gallogly is a book that is as much a reflection on life as it is a trail story. We can discuss both. 😉

Let’s meet at Smith Rock State Park and do @ a 1 hr hike along the river before heading to my house near by to warm up with a hot chocolate and to discuss the book.

More details to come as we get closer to the date regarding weather and my address. In the meantime, Happy Reading!

#### **A Transformative Journey on the John Muir Trail- Review**

Set authentically in the High Sierra, The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what’s missing in our lives.
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.
The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on 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.
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.
Whether you’re a hiker, armchair explorer, or someone trying to find what’s really meaningful in life—this book is for you.
