What compels someone to spend weeks and even months in the wilderness with nothing but the supplies they can carry on their back? Ethan Gallogly, an avid backpacker, was so inspired by his 211-mile journey along the John Muir Trail that runs through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California that he decided to write a novel based on the experience. In this episode, hear what lies at the heart of Ethan's passion for backpacking.
