50 Hikes in the Sierra Nevada

50 Hikes in the Sierra Nevada by Julie Smith

"The Sierra Nevada is a landscape of dramatic and wild beauty with snow-capped granite spires, gushing waterfalls, verdant meadows, and glistening lakes waiting to be explored. The longest single mountain range in the contiguous United States, the Sierra Nevada's variety of elevation, climate, and topography result in a remarkable diversity of flora, fauna, and intoxicating vistas. From the foothills of the Western Sierra to stark, treeless mountain tops, the most intimate way to experience this glacially carved range is under your own power. 

These 50 hikes are a perfect mix of classic Sierra treks and lesser-known gems and showcase the scenic destinations that make the Sierra so stunning. Each chapter includes comprehensive, step-by-step directions for the hike and offers a glimpse into the natural and human history of the area, as well as a map, full color photography, directions to the trailhead, distance and elevation data hike difficulty, rating, and pertinent contact information."
