"Epic! Force of Nature is like Wild meets A Walk in the Woods, where breathtaking adventure and humorous setbacks are the narrative nestled in a setting only Joan Griffin can put into words. Griffin's thru-hike of the John Muir Trail is a journey of self-discovery and a testament to the human spirit. In her words: Fear loses its power in the face of someone who has known courage. "- Cam Torrens, Appalachian thru-hiker and award-winning author.
Three friends, women in their fifties, set out to hike the John Muir Trail. From the outset their adventure is complicated by self-inflicted accidents, and ferocious weather, then enriched when they "adopt" a young hiker abandoned by her partner along the trial. Together they are pulled toward the trail's end atop the highest peak in the high Sierra, Mt. Whitney, and the culmination of their transformative journey.
