Guide to the Theodore Solomons Trail

An alternative route to the
heavily used John Muir Trail between
Yosemite and the Mt. Whitney region

by Dennis Gagnon

Named for the man who first conceived the idea of a crest-paralleling trail through the High Sierra, the Solomons Trail travels 271 miles through lower elevations and less-used areas than the John Muir Trail. The author describes in detail this new path through the Sierra high country.

The first part of the guide deals with the background of the trail. Then a detailed description of the trail, followed by 20 other suggested backcountry trips.
