The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails

By R.J. Secor. The High Sierra hiking/climbing guidebook. Amazingly exhaustive. An indispensible trip planning aid.

In October, 1999 we ventured into the Cathedral Lakes region of Yosemite NP. The area is one of the most sought-after in terms of wilderness permits in the entire park, and we felt quite lucky to score an overnight permit, although October is the best time of the year for availability. We attempted to climb Tresidder Peak and camped on Tresidder's North Ridge, which drops down to Upper Cathedral Lake. Click here for a detailed trip report.
