Yosemite & the Southern Sierra Nevada: Includes Mammoth Lakes, Sequoia, Kings Canyon & Death Valley - A Great Destination (Explorer's Guides)

Awarded Best Guidebook by the Outdoor Writers of CA, Best Travel Guidebook by the Bay Area Travel Writers, and a Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation.
The only complete guide to California's southern Sierra Nevada--some of the most stunning wilderness in North America--is better than ever in this revised, updated edition. Detailed reviews of lodging, dining, and recreation, plus outfitters, campsites, trails, and points of historic and cultural interest. More than 100 photographs by the best contemporary professional photographers, as well as from historic archives. Includes chapters on Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Mammoth Lakes, the Owens Valley and the Eastern Sierra, and Death Valley.
This is the definitive (as well as wonderfully eccentric) guide to the immensity of the southern Sierra and Owens Valley. John Muir would be pleased. --Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz and Ecology of Fear
