Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon

Bordering the northern border of California’s Yosemite National Park is a wilderness area nearly forgotten by the crowds of tourists ogling the vertical face of El Capitan or the graceful curvature of Half-Dome--and therein lies its charm. This guidebook to the Emigrant Wilderness covers all the area's trails, as well as fishing options, climbing routes, mountain biking, winter recreation, natural history, and horsepacking. Also included is a handy fold-out topographic map.

Book Description

The 118,000-acre Emigrant Wilderness lies on the northern border of Yosemite National Park. This book describes 62 trail and cross-country routes in Emigrant plus adjacent Yosemite and Hoover Wilderness. Comes with a 4-color topographic map at the scale of 1:63,360.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book - Campsite Information, May 9 2002
By 
Gorbo "Gorbo" (San Rafael CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emigrant Wilderness and Northwestern Yosemite (Paperback)
The copy I perused had an update for 1999. The book had a Map with trails not on my current US FS map. It showed trails which may be hard to find, but that's the challenge. Trails from old books from the 1960's are often included here, but not in current maps or US FS literature. Again, this is a great resource book for this area.

As with any wilderness area, campsites will close due to overuse, restoration, natural changes (flood, earthquake, fire, mudslides, etc). For up to date information, check with the local US Forest Station (Sometimes helpful) and local clubs. Local bulletin boards such as craigslist.org, San Francisco are helpful too.

Always obtain a permit for overnight stays. These are still required and free as of this writing for most wilderness areas.
If there is a fee write your Senator and Congress person.

4.0 out of 5 stars Please, Ben, go back..., July 12 1999

This review is from: Emigrant Wilderness and Northwestern Yosemite (Paperback)
This is a very good guide, as far as it goes, but unfortunately, that's often not nearly far enough. Much of the information is badly outdated (most of the campsites described in some areas no longer exist, for example). I've been waiting several years to get an updated edition, because we've used ours so much, it's fallen apart. Now that it's completely disintegrated, into a dozen or more pieces, I gave up and ordered another copy of the same old edition; but if you come out with a new edition, with better information, I'd get that, right away, even now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding Guide, Nov 2 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Emigrant Wilderness and Northwestern Yosemite (Paperback)
I have used this book several times to plan backpacking trips. The Emigrant Wilderness has quickly become my favorite area for getting away from it all. With detailed and accurate directions for finding everything, this book makes me feel like a seasoned mountain man is showing me the way. Definitely, the best trail guide I own.
