Sept Meeting of the Noco Book Club

Our next book selection is The Trail: a novel by Ethan Gallogly (Author), Jeremy Ashcroft (Illustrator), 2021. To buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737419203/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3 “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. 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.”
