There are five trails that lead into the Granite Gorge of the Mokelumne River, but none of them connect to each other. It seems as if there are five ways in, and no way out. But when Ranger Dan Courtwright offers to help restore some of those old trails, he discovers more than he expected. And is lucky to get out alive.
Dan is back! I enjoy the characters in these books. I could have had some more of Cal in this story. And Doris is always a bit of a character. I like her. I thought that there could have been more of the suspense action and maybe a little less trail work details. Overall, I really like the book and the series. The author's love of the outdoors shows. I suspect he would like to be doing what Dan does.
