The Getaway Guide to the John Muir Trail
Guy Saperstein
Can an older guy hike the 211-mile John Muir Trail? Duh! Saperstein realized a lifelong dream when he spent a month hiking the Sierra with his son.
Written with panache and humor, he inspires hikers of all ages to tackle the grand and glorious route pioneered by the Sierra Club founder. The guide offers practical advice for neophytes and experienced hikers alike, as well as first class reading for armchair adventurers.
This guide is the first in a series on great American trails.
