"A must-have, must-read for anyone invested in the Sierra; this book is the ultimate trail companion to get to know the flora and fauna of our mountains. I love how the format (dichotomous key) will enable even the most novice hiker to learn about their surroundings and identify a Jeffrey Pine vs a Ponderosa Pine (hint: “gentle Jeffrey” and “prickly Ponderosa”)". - Alpenglow Educator, Molly
