Book description
I have completed the John
Muir Trail in sections over the last decade. During this time I have been changed
by the events of life in general and specifically the JMT. The JMT has
unrivaled beauty, requires considerable effort and is a type of spiritual
pilgrimage whether one is particularly religious or not. This book is a
photographic record of the 211 mile journey from Yosemite National Park in the
North to the summit of Mount Whitney in the South. I have also included 10
essays related to specific reflections on experiences in the wilderness and the
journey along the JMT as a kind of metaphor for life itself. We are sometimes exhausted
and can go no further until we rest. While our vista is beyond description, our
path is narrow and the footing uncertain. It is also a statement that to a point
less is better. One learns about possessions that the larger the backpack, the
larger the burden.
Available now on Amazon with color photographs for those that have a color Kindle.
