Product Description
In eastern California, four hours north of Los Angeles, lies a long, trough-shaped valley bordered on either side by massive mountain ranges. Valley and mountains together form a region of superlatives. Here you will find our highest peak outside Alaska, Mount Whitney; the oldest of all living things, the bristlecone pine; and our deepest valley, the Owens. Completely revised after fifteen years of additional research, this cherished guide is now back in print, thirty-three years after its original publication. The book contains thirty pages of photographs by America's premiere landscape photographers; rare historic photographs; drawings of wildflowers, trees, birds, and mammals, as well as a road and trail map, geologic and mountain drawings, old mining, and railroad maps.

Great Choice August 12, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
As a long time visiter to the Owens Valley I found this book to be excellent. Its great for the first time traveler or the person who has been to the valley many times. Its section on side roads is good for those passing through the area and wanting to explore a bit. The history and geology areas are current and answer those questions that arise when encountering the vast numbers of different geological features. While no one guide does it all this book comes close. A great book for those who want a general guide to the valley, its history,geology,flora and fauna.
