Deepest Valley: A Guide to Owens Valley, Its Roadsides and Mountain Trails
Editorial Reviews
Book 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.
