An excellent account of one man's journey from the bottom of Death Valley to the top of Mt. Whitney! Very enjoyable armchair excursion for the wannabe hiker/backpacker/trekker. Nice background historical stuff included here as well as a bibliography for those who want to delve deeper into the history and lore of this section of California.
Only one chapter on his taking the mountaineer's route up Mt Whitney. Those of us who have been on this mountain will be disappointed but I especially enjoyed his ascent in Beveridge Canyon
