5.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction to geology of the Sierra, March 10, 2000
This review is from: Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who climbs or backpacks in Yosemite or the high Sierra. If you've ever looked at the knobs on Cathedral Peak, the dikes at Lover's Leap, the domes around Tuolumne, or the cirques and jagged peaks in the high Sierra and wondered what caused them to form, read this book. It gives a great background on the geology of the Sierra, specifically focusing on Yosemite. It is accessible to someone without a background in geology without being dumbed down.

An indispensible companion for a trip to Yosemite, January 17, 2001

This review is from: Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park (Paperback)
Huber has done a terrific job! Don't go to Yosemite without acquiring this book first. Short, clear, and without a peer as a pocket guide for the layman and rusty professional. Use this book for Yosemite and also get James Moore's wonderful book "Exploring the Highest Sierra" (Kings Canyon and Sequioa parks)for a greatly enriched tour of the Sierra Nevada.
