His best-known work On the Road made him an icon of the countercultural Beat Generation, though Kerouac disliked labels in general and that one specifically. He was a kind of nomad who searched for authenticity and he expressed his own by relentlessly putting words to paper. Every tap on the keys of his typewriter was like a step and every story was a way of contem- plating the things he saw or anticipating what might be around the next bend.

That’s awesome . I would give my eye teeth to see there in person . I first read about the area in #dharmabums by #kerouac . In the 1980s. Then later in life watching hiker videos on YouTube & now bike videos . So so beautiful . 🚲♥️

Kerouac's #DharmaBums got me interested in mountains & wilderness, Sierra Club got me out into it: first as Service Trip participant, then as cook, ultimately paving the way for my move to San Francisco.

What #books influenced you ? Like most people my #kerouac journey started with #ontheroad in the early 80s but I vastly preferred my second read #dharmabums . Not just the central themes, it’s joy of the outdoors stays with me . Re-read it many times
