5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photographs, March 19, 2006

By	Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Exploring The Eastern Sierra, Second Edition: California And Nevada (Paperback)

If you're a fisherman, hiker or just someone who appreciates magnificent scenery, then the Sierra Nevada mountain range is the place for you. This book is a rewarding introduction to the splendors of this region. From Lone Pine to Bridgeport, this book covers most of the treasures in this area, easily accessed from Highway 395.

I spend most of my summers in the Sierra Nevada and this book helps me pass the winter months in anticipation of hitting the trails again when the snow melts off. The photos make you feel as if you're there, they are high quality and beautifully reproduced. If you've never made a trip to this area, this book is the perfect introduction. If you're someone who knows the Sierra's like the back of your hand, it's still an excellent coffee table book.

I hope the authors tackle another photographic challenge: publish a book specifically on the magical John Muir Trail. The opportunities for great photos there are endless! In any case, this book is a welcome addition to anyone with an interest in one of the most scenic areas in America.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exploring the Eastern Sierras, April 10, 2007

By	NEAL P. VAN VOORN "NEAL P. VAN DER VOORN" (Gig Harbor, WA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Exploring The Eastern Sierra, Second Edition: California And Nevada (Paperback)

Considering what the book claims to cover, it is adequate. It has lots of pictures and brief descriptions of the eastern Sierras and the Owens Valley. Do not expect detailed descriptions of the natural history, geology, or history of this region.
