Book details
Overview
"The View From Above" captures the memorable and exhilarating experiences created when people from around the world, or just around the corner, hike the Sonoma Overlook trail. In part it's told in their own words and sketches, drawn from thousands of entries in Hikers Notebooks kept at the summit for visitors and regulars to express their impressions.
Along the way, readers will learn the trail's history: how people came together 20 years ago to spare this beautiful natural site with stupendous views from private development, and then built a public trail for people of all ages to enjoy in perpetuity. This community spirit remains strong today, as volunteer stewards, in a unique relationship with the City of Sonoma, work daily to maintain the trail and its amenities, raising funds and work-in-kind from the community to do so.
