A FIELD GUIDE TO CALIFORNIA’S MIGHTY TREES: EXPERT ITINERARIES, NATURALIST INSIGHTS, ARBOREAL WONDERS, JOURNEYS TO MOUNTAINS AND COAST

Inside Wildsam Big Trees of California, you’ll venture to Redwoods National Park, Yosemite National Park and King’s Canyon and Sequoia national parks, as well as California’s extraordinary network of state redwoods parks. You’ll find stories from prize-winning authors, past and present; a detailed itinerary to Northern California’s parks; interviews with activists, scientists, small town post office workers and innkeepers; thought-provoking miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic big-trees experiences and a deep dive into the ecology and geography of these lands.

"The lands where the big trees grow hold out this promise: That jaw-dropping sights are close at hand, just up the road from regular life. Driving the highways of Northern California, hiking Yosemite’s groves, exploring Kings Canyon, Sequoia–the soaring forest parklands of our most populous state lift us out of the mundane."
