Book Description

(5th) High Sierra Hiking Guide June 1996
Covers all the trails in the Yosemite Valley area and the backcountry to the south. Includes trails through the Mariposa Sequoia Grove and heading south off the Glacier Point Road. Contains both dayhikes and backpacking trips. Includes Yosemite map.

What is a High Sierra Hiking Guide? It's a small, compact book that covers all the trails and trailheads in a popular area in the High Sierra. In each guide there is a minimum of 100 miles of trail described. Their compact size (4.5" x 6") makes them easy to carry. Each book has at least 96 pages of information, an index, and photographs. If you're going backpacking, each guide covers the amount of area you're likely to venture through on a backpacking trip. Or if you're camping in a particular area, the High Sierra Hiking Guides will give you lots of options for dayhikes. Save money-you don't need to buy any other maps because each hiking guide comes with an updated, accurate topographic map.

1.0 out of 5 stars Haven't read the book, June 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Yosemite: The Valley and Surrounding Uplands ((5th) High Sierra Hiking Guide) (Paperback)
I haven't read this book but this is for the person who rated this book earlier. There is a great backpacking guide "Yosemite Natl Park, A Natural Guide to Yosemite and Its Trails" by the same author. Unfortunately it is out of print. When it is reprinted (and it will be) this is the best book about the park that I have found. It has any trail mentioned that you would want to know about. Check it out if you get a chance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular place, unspectacular guide, June 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Yosemite: The Valley and Surrounding Uplands ((5th) High Sierra Hiking Guide) (Paperback)
This book is a real disappointment. My impression is that the author is speaking to someone who already knows the trails and the area well. It may be better than nothing, but it could have been much more.

In fact, I have been unable to find a Yosemite backpacking guide that wasn't a disappointment. There must be one somewhere. I am spoiled on excellent guides such as Hiking New Mexico (I don't recall the author), and particularly the Arkansas guides by Tim Ernst. All backpacking guides should be as thorough and thoughtful.
