A
box of books is somewhere in the frieght system between the US and
Australia. Currently freight times are very variable so we will not
activate the Paypal button and ask for payment until we actually have
copies to sell. If you do want a copy, then please email us and we will
let you know when the books arrive. We will not post books to overseas
countries, it would be cheaper to order a copy direct from The
Mountaineers or the US based online bookshops like Amazon etc.
The
Sierra Grand Traverse is a 200 mile (320 kilometre) high-level traverse
of the Sierra Nevada
range in
California. The traverse is primarily above treeline and the majority
is off
trail. This
is an area of stunning scenery with hundreds of lakes and many
impressive granite
peaks. The generally warm summer weather of California makes this an
unforgettable backpack. John Muir described the Sierra Nevada as the
'Range of Light' and it is indeed an apt description particularly at
sunrise and sunset where glowing rock faces are reflected in the
numerous lakes. The ideal time for walking this route is from mid-July
through to mid-September. We suggest to allow between 25 and 45 days to
walk the entire route. It is not necessary to walk all of it as we have
described it in five sections with each being roughly a week in length.
The traverse is recommended for experienced walkers as
some
route finding and navigation is required. More information is available on our Sierra Grand Traverse page.
The
book is published by The Mountaineers who are the premier
US publishers of hiking guide books and other related outdoor
books. They have published more than 1,000 titles. A basic description
of most of the route on this web page.
