Between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite near the California-Nevada border is a remote region of high Sierra peaks and forest that sees little of the congestion found around its two more famous neighbors. The Carson-Iceberg Wilderness is a place in which to lose yourself. This guide to the area is suited to the well-rounded outdoors enthusiast, with chapters on geology, history, wildlife, fishing, and a variety of backcountry excursions. Included is a handy fold-out topographic map.
Book Description
Straddling the crest in the central part of the Sierra Nevada, this wilderness preserves the glaciated High Sierra lands between Highway 4 and Highway 108. The vast majority of the wilderness is easily accessible, yet lightly used.
Schaffer covers all the trails in this wilderness of glaciated canyons and spectacular views. Both trails and cross-country routes are shown on the book's foldout topographic map, which shows elevations at all trail junctions plus distances between junctions. Hikes range from easy dayhikes to multi-day backpacks.
