Yosemite & the Southern Sierra Nevada: A Complete Guide, by David T. Page (Countryman Press/W.W. Norton, 2008)
The only complete traveler’s guide to California’s Southern Sierra Nevada region, covering the roads, trailheads, history and accommodations from Yosemite National Park to the Kern River Plateau to the Amargosa Valley. Includes chapters on Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks (and the newly-created Giant Sequoia National Monument), the Mammoth Lakes region (including Mono Lake), the Owens Valley, and Death Valley National Park.
“This is the definitive (as well as wonderfully eccentric) guide to the immensity of the southern Sierra, writes Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz and Ecology of Fear. “John Muir would be pleased.”
“A splendid resource for exploring a remarkable land,” writes Bill Becher, national-award-winning outdoor journalist.
Awarded “Best Guidebook of 2008″ at the Outdoor Writers of California conference.
