The Tahoe-Yosemite Trail: A Comprehensive Guide to the 180 Miles of Trail Between Meeks Bay at Lake Tahoe and Yosemite Park's Tuolumne Meadows

Crossing four major highways, the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail is highly accessible. The backpacker who hates to confine his outings to one long vacation each summer can "do" most of the trail in a series of long weekends. The beginning knapsacker, just getting to know the wilderness, can sample portions of the trail on simple overnight trips or even day walks. The very ambitious walker can connect with the Muir Trail at Tuolumne Meadows and keep on walking to Mt. Whitney. In this time of man's grave ecological crisis, when his future on earth is touch and go, a person needs to flee the city, leaving all the works of man behind, in order to renew his perspective on what matters, what counts. To fill that need, there are few better ways than to watch the sun set over a hidden lake in a purple, rocky bowl along the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail
