About This Book

A naturalist recounts his journey to a deep granite valley in the Sierra, blending personal travel narrative with extended natural history and lyrical description. He describes approaches, seasonal weather, snow and storms, glaciers and valley formation, waterfalls and domes, trees (including giant sequoias), flowers and birds, and the variety of cañon and meadow landscapes. Practical chapters advise how to spend time there, and historical sections recount early exploration and debates over preservation and valley management, including a neighboring valley controversy. Appendices provide legislation, distances, and travel rates.
