"This evening I've talked at length with Ken Pulvino, whose Greeley Hill residence is my internet, dinner, and lodging for the night. Ken has filled me in about geotourism, and his efforts to rename highway J132 as the "John Muir Highway"

"Ken has filled me in about the specifics of the area and the potential for economic and environmental alignment that might take place here. Thanks so much to Ken and Teri for the great hospitality and great conversation"

NMCHC Docent Tours

The John Muir Highway Geotourism project was established to honor the legendary naturalist John Muir by creating a geotourism center in Coulterville, CA, and developing visitors’ sites along the Highway 132 route of Muir’s 1868-1869 journey to the Sierras.

With funding and support from the Graf-Pulvino Family Fund, the Northern Mariposa County History Center and the Sierra Foothill Conservancy are partnering to turn this vision into a reality. Developing a talented team of docents is integral to the success of the project.
