Inspiration for this great trail we call life from John McKinney, Author, Speaker, Trailmaster.
Hiking On
The Edge
The Edge
Dreams, Schemes, and 1600 Miles on the California Coastal Trail
The intrepid trailblazer discovered much more than a trail. A saga, a celebration, a comedy, a lament, this narrative ranks with the classics of California travel literature. A book by John McKinney.
“Powerful, edgy and often very funny, John McKinney memorably shares the coast’s natural wonders, skewers corporations, developers and those who don’t share his sense of stewardship, and reminds us of the need for constant vigilance to protect this extraordinary meeting of land and sea.”
–Susan Jordan, California Coastal Protection Network
“In spectacular prose both gentle and awe-inspiring, John McKinney tells the grand tale of the California coast like no one before him has done, leaving us on the edge of our seat throughout this entire collection.”
—Thomas Rigler, Executive Producer, City Walk and California Coastal Trail (PBS)
Hiking the
Holy Mountain
Holy Mountain
Tales of Monks and Miracles on the Trails of Mount Athos Greece
By turns glorious and hilarious, with a “plot” and colorful cast of Greek monks that seem out of a movie script. A powerful one-of-a-kind true story of saints, icons, and a hike like no other. A book by John McKinney
“I really enjoyed reading Hiking the Holy Mountain by John McKinney! Wonderful descriptions of the place and people of Mt. Athos, and some miraculous events–including St. Anna’s intervention in bringing the McKinney family a son.”
–Frederica Mathewes-Green, author, Facing East
