Most people associate the name Yosemite with granite cliffs and waterfalls, and it conjures up images of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. But Yosemite Valley, the site of these famous landmarks, occupies only seven square miles. The greater Yosemite National Park contains 1,200 square miles, 94% of which is designated wilderness. This book is about that other Yosemite, the one that is thirty miles wide and forty high. It is an undelifed, primordial landscape that remains the same generation after generation. Claude Fiddler's remarkable photographs and the engaging essays by five veteran backcountry travelers will take you to a marvelous region far above much-visited Yosemite Valley. That extraordinary place, visited by queens and presidents, has enjoyed its share of the spotlight. This book illuminates the places that queens and presidents never see. Photographs by Claude Fiddler, with essays by Steve Roper, Nancy Fiddler, Anne Macquarie, John Hart, and Doug Robinson. harcover, 128 full-color pages Published by the Yosemite Association
