Hiking Trails Along Highway 108

Sponsored by:

Few books are more specifically titled than, “Day Hikes Along The Highway 108 Corridor”. There is no question as to what this book is about.

Twain Harte resident and outdoor enthusiast Kathi Joye, was Thursday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.

This is Joye’s first book that she has both written and published.

Though seemingly self-explanatory, the book covers a total of seventy-six hiking trails from Knights Ferry to the east side of Sonora Pass.

Joye classifies each trail in terms of length, duration, elevation, difficulty and whether or not the trail is primitive or well maintained.

Some of the trails listed in the book will take the average hiker less than one hour. However, one of the “day hike” trails is sixteen miles. All of the trails offers a scenic or significant reward such as a view, a lake or a historical destination.

When asked about other hiking trail books, Joye said that there are numerous books that typically feature the same four or five high Sierra trails in Tuolumne County along with hundreds of others outside of the county.

This book is very specific, covering not only trails in the Sierra Nevada (along Highway 108), but lower elevation trails found in Sonora, Jamestown, Chinese Camp and Knights Ferry.

The “Newsmaker of the Day” is heard every weekday on AM 1450 KVML at 6:45, 7:45 and 8:45 AM.
