I have been to Yosemite National Park near the Half Dome and stood there in awestruck to the wonders of nature.  Finally I get to experience the remote areas through the eyes of Jeff Alt. In this beautifully written book, Alt chronicles the 200 mile trek of the John Muir Trail.  An experience hiker who has transverse the Appalachian Trail, Alt this time took his bride Beth.  Full of life, Beth had been struck with the sudden loss of her brother and this adventure served as a tribute to him and a way to clear her head.Along the way they kept an online journal and discovered that the ups and downs of a hiker’s journey.  From unwanted blisters, scary bears, and a few questionable mountain men makes for a fascinating travel log. It makes me want to one day take the plunge and see if this city boy can become one with nature and enjoy the great outdoors.A moving tale of hope, wonder, and the continuous evolving path of life’s journey, Four Boots is an awesome book.
