Geologic Story of Yosemite National Park

Rating:
Summary: An indispensible companion for a trip to Yosemite
Review: Huber has done a terrific job! Don't go to Yosemite without acquiring this book first. Short, clear, and without a peer as a pocket guide for the layman and rusty professional. Use this book for Yosemite and also get James Moore's wonderful book "Exploring the Highest Sierra" (Kings Canyon and Sequioa parks)for a greatly enriched tour of the Sierra Nevada.

Rating:
Summary: Great introduction to geology of the Sierra
Review: This is a great book for anyone who climbs or backpacks in Yosemite or the high Sierra. If you've ever looked at the knobs on Cathedral Peak, the dikes at Lover's Leap, the domes around Tuolumne, or the cirques and jagged peaks in the high Sierra and wondered what caused them to form, read this book. It gives a great background on the geology of the Sierra, specifically focusing on Yosemite. It is accessible to someone without a background in geology without being dumbed down.
