Voted 5/5 | I picked up this book at one of NP visitor centers. It is a great comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the Sierra. The book is organized nicely and covers everything from geology to human history and expedition parties. Lots of great photographs, too. | | Posted Jan 24, 2007 10:25 pm |
