Synopsis

The Sierra Nevada is one of the West’s most beautiful and famous mountain ranges. In this beautiful full-color gift book, James Martin, recipient of a Banff Mountain Book Festival award, shares an intimate view of its rugged landscape. He describes in poetic detail his own early history of hiking in the Sierra Nevada range, attending Ansel Adams?led seminars in Yosemite, and once hiking from there to Mount Whitney and on to Sequoia ? a total of 350 miles. Whether he’s discussing the fascinating geology of this ?youthful” range or encountering a couple determined to achieve the first nude ascent of Cathedral Peak, the author’s vibrant text and exquisite 100 color photographs capture the Sierra in all its moods.
