Schaffer Wilderness Press, 2003 A good guide, but needs a few more data points We've used this guide for the entire Northern California section, and haven't gotten lost. The only problem is that some of the jeep roads mentioned in the guide are now invisible, at least to our aging eyes, and also, some of the data points indicate zero elevation change, when there might be a 1000 ft up or down between the points. Add a few more data points, please.             Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon And Washington: From The California Border To The Canadian Border (Pacific Crest ...4 reviews Andy Selters Wilderness Press, 2004 user-friendly, highly practical while hiking I used this guide to hike the Oregon section of the PCT in 1993 and found it very user-friendly, highly practical while on the trail and full of interesting background information.

For day hikers and 'packers alike one of these and the appropriate 7.5 topos will get you there and back.

Schaffer Wilderness Press, 2007 An Excellent Addition to the Top Trails Series Wilderness Press originally conceived of the 'Top Trails' series as a set of hiking guides to the best trails in an area.

Schaffer Wilderness Press, 2003 Realization of Tahoe Hikes This book is so accurate and descriptive it made hiking the Tahoe Desolation Wilderness a pleasure. The authors describe the trails in detail, steep, vertical, not for beginners etc. The map included in the back is an assest, the detailed book a must for anyone heading into the wilderness of Tahoe.             The Geomorphic Evolution of the Yosemite Valley and Sierra Nevada Landscapes: Solving the Riddles in the Rocks4 reviews Jeffrey P. Schaffer Wilderness Press, 1997 good study Schaffer's book is a fresh look at one of the paradigms of glacial geomorphology - that mountain glaciers are capable of large-scale erosion and create the valleys that they lie in. He concludes that they generally do not. He based this on more than a decade of field work in the Sierra Nevadas (more field work in this range that any other geologist - dead or alive).

Schaffer Wilderness Press, 2000 Thorough, essential guide for backpacking Yosemite I have to disagree with the two previous reviewers. First, as someone with no previous knowledge of the park, I did not have too much difficulty using this book. The excellent topo map that is included helps to locate the trails in the book (in contrast to Falcon Guides, which to my disappointment, don't include topo maps). There is also a very nice table at the beginning that summarizes the ...             Crater Lake National Park and Vicinity Jeffrey P.

Schaffer Wilderness Press, 2004 Excellent **Companion to the Book** If you look at the cover of the map (even the "larger image" of the Amazon product picture), you'll see that it says "Companion map to the book Yosemite National Park published by Wilderness Press".
