The southern High Sierra, including Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and the surrounding John Muir, Jennie Lakes, and Monarch Wildernesses, is one of the most magnificent natural areas in the world. Blessed with the largest trees on Earth (giant sequoias), one of the deepest canyons in North America (Kings Canyon), and the highest mountain in the continental U.S. (Mt. Whitney), the greater Sequoia-Kings Canyon region offers unparalleled mountain majesty. Along with such superlatives, hundreds of miles of trails provides access to a boundless number of high mountain lakes, wildflower-covered meadows, cascading streams, deep forests, and craggy peaks. Mike White's Top Trails: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks guide presents the best curated selection of trips suitable for varied skill-level to this portion of John Muir's Range of Light.

About Mike White
Mike White was raised in the southeast suburbs of Portland Oregon in the shadow of Mount Hood (whenever the Pacific Northwest skies cleared enough to allow such things as shadows). As a teenager Mike began hiking backpacking and climbing in the Cascades of Oregon and Washington and he honed his outdoor skills while attending Seattle Pacific University. After acquiring a B.A. in political science Mike and his new wife Robin relocated to the high desert of Reno Nevada from where he discovered the joys of exploring the Sierra Nevada. After leaving his last real job Mike began a full-time writing career. He is the author or coauthor of 19 outdoor guides including award-winning books Top Trails Lake Tahoe and 50 Classic Hikes in Nevada. Mike also has contributed to Sunset and Backpacker magazines and the Reno Gazette-Journal newspaper. A former community college instructor Mike is also a popular featured speaker for outdoors groups.
