The High Sierra is his celebration of this exceptional range and an exploration of what makes this span of mountains one of the most compelling places on Earth." -- A "sublime" and "radically original" exploration of the Sierra Nevadas, the best mountains on Earth for hiking and camping, from New York Times bestselling novelist Kim Stanley Robinson (Bill McKibben, Gary Snyder).-- |
