“James Martin’s words and images do the near not possible: bring the thrills of hiking alive in print.” — Art Wolfe
The Sierra Nevada is likely one of the West’s most beautiful and famous mountain ranges. Here Martin shares an intimate view of its rugged landscape, describing his own early history of climbing within the range, attending Ansel Adams-led seminars in Yosemite, and once climbing from there to Mount Whitney and on to Sequoia.
