My Trinities eBook

NEWLY REVISED for next year's hiking season! The most comprehensive guide to Northern California's most spectacular wilderness area, the Trinity Alps (plus a chapter on the Russian Wilderness). Photos and text about more than 200 lakes, all major peaks and trails, plus extensive off-trail info. Geology, botany, birds, human history, swimming holes, bear dens, life-or-death narratives, and humor throughout.This is a guidebook that refuses to talk down to the reader. The author doesn't come off as some godlike Expert, but rather as the waiter bringing the dessert cart to your table: "Would you like to try a slice of Caribou Lake this week? Or perhaps the waterfalls above Grizzly Meadows?"The Trinities' story is told in a subjective, often stream-of-consciousness style that covers not just the What, but the Why. Designed for hard core hikers, newbies to hiking, and even couch potatoes with an interest in stories of adventure or natural beauty. Though the subject matter is very regional--most Trinities hikers come from the area between San Francisco and Seattle--the stories are inspirational for readers anywhere.
