Guide to Tuolumne Meadows Trails

Shields, Allan

The visitor in Tuolumne Meadows who is unfamiliar with the region and who at the same time wants to explore for himself some of its beautiful and expansive reaches has, at the outset, numerous questions in mind. He (or she!) is rightfully aware that a wealth of interest and scenic charm lies hidden in the landscape but, he asks, “Which direction shall I go?” “How far is it?” “How long will it take?” “Is it steep?” “What if I don’t know much about hiking?” These and numerous other questions this booklet tries to answer. It has been written by one who is thoroughly familiar not only with the terrain but also with the needs of those eager for first-hand acquaintance with it. The choice of hikes it recommends is excellent and the graded series a happy thought.
