The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails - by R.J. Secor. Unquestionably the bible of California backcountry adventure. Reliable and exhaustive, which is no small feat, given the scale of the "Range of Light".

Thick Red Fir at 11,000 feet

October 28, 2001, Alta Peak. A classic day climb of the highest (11,240') peak surrounding Tokopah Valley, a classic glacier-sculpted basin above Lodgepole in Sequoia. Cool forests and spectacular panoramic views of the mighty Sierran peaks.
October 27, 2001, Moro Rock climbing. This whale-like granite exfoliation dome juts unnaturally into the vast depths of Kaweah Canyon. Drop-offs of up to 2000 feet in three directions draw many climbers. We climbed a single one-pitch trad route on Moro Rock's western side.
September 1-3, 2001, Big Arroyo backpack. Our big backpacking trip for the year, and the first overnighter into SeKi's backcountry. What a trip it was! 40 miles total, from Mineral King to Crescent Meadow, via Big Arroyo.
"Big Arroyo 2. Read Kim's account of our Big Arroyo backpacking trip.
January, 2001, Little Baldy. This little nub packs some great views! If you have a couple hours to burn, this hike gives some great views of Sequoia's western high country.
