This is my second book based on hiking and backpacking in the Sierra Nevada. The articles are from my Mid Sierra Musings Blog. What is different about this book is that I selected the topics based on 'page views' over the last three years. The more page views an article received, the more likely I would select that article for inclusion in the book. I don't believe I have selected any articles previously published in the first book. I have come to think of myself as a wilderness docent who enjoys helping others who are considering some of the more popular trails in the Central Sierra Nevada. Some trips are day trips, some overnight and some multiday. Almost all of the trips are 'on trail'. I have seen how powerful photographs of an area can be in determining someone's destination and have become an avid photographer at the expense of moving faster and covering more territory. It is good for me to do this as a retired trail runner. I hope the information and photographs contained here will motivate you to see the areas yourself. Dale Matson+
