(More customer reviews)David Page's storyteller voice is clear and one you'll enjoy. For anyone looking to explore the Sierra Nevada - east and south plus Yosemite and all the way to Death Valley - buy this book. In-depth descriptions will guide you to all destinations off-road and on, from the lowest to the highest. The most beautiful sides of California and everything you'll need to get there and back.
All the history, geography and background to explore these incredible landscapes -- some of the other worldly. And inspire you to visit again and again. California has more than its share of National Parks, but none more exceptional than Yosemite, Death Valley, and Sequoia & Kings Canyon. David provides the essentials for first-timers or experienced travelers to these scenic wonders. Trails, lodging, restaurants, landmarks -- it's all there and more. You can use this as a guide, but just as easily read it as a first-person account.
That ribbon of Hwy 395, in and out of the Eastern Sierra, Mammoth Lakes, Mono Lake, and Mt. Whitney, it's magic. Every detail is revealed in the Explorer's Guide Yosemite & the Southern Sierra Nevada: Includes Mammoth Lakes, Sequoia, Kings Canyon & Death Valley: A Great Destination. I do wish fonts were larger and darker. Some of us who are visually challenged will be challenged all the more. There was a lot of ground to cover and this was the only way to get it done. This is the most special side of California and one I know well. And even better now with David's book id in my collection. Though some of my secreted places have been exposed. I like to share but some things I keep close to the vest!
