Sierra Nevada
Byways

Backcountry drives for the whole family

by Tony Huegel

bysna.jpg (48174 bytes) Among the featured adventures in this book are trips that let you:
  • Gaze across Lake Tahoe from the summits of glaciated High Sierra peaks.
  • Climb to a sky-scraping divide more than 10,000 feet high at Mammoth Lakes, then traverse a mountainside shelf for a head-spinning view across 10,000-foot-deep Owens Valley.
  • Follow forgotten wagon roads to remote Gold Rush mining camps, where historic "diggins" can still be seen.
  • See rare alpine sand dunes, pristine mountain meadows, bristlecone pines that live for thousands of years and little-known ghost towns.

50 of the Sierra Nevada's Best Adventure Roads

Less expensive than a full tank of gas, Sierra Nevada Byways describes 50 backcountry routes for you and your family to explore along California's magnificent mountains spine.  Author of several other Byways titles, Toney Huegel provides clear directions and location maps for each trip.  He also gives you tips for refining your backcountry driving skills, locations for campgrounds and amenities, and clues you in to the great pull-outs for the best views.

The Sierra Nevada stir the explorer in us all.  Anyone who has driven through California's Sierra Nevada Mountains has seen those tantalizing lines on the map, those dirt roads that branch off the highways and disappear into the mountains, canyons and forests of the largest single mountain range in the contiguous United States.  Those roads, we think to ourselves as the asphalt miles roll by, are the ones we'd really like to be on.

Whether you have only a few hours or a few weeks, Sierra Nevada Byways takes you down roads pioneered by the forty-niners and the Golden State's earliest emigrants.

Praise for Tony Huegel's Byways series
Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family

"...well organized and presented ...one of the best guides of its type around." Open Road Magazine

"Author Tony Huegel has ... produced some of the best guides that we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole family.  [His Byways Series] all offer concise directions, clear maps and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road adventure."  Motor Week (Maryland Public television)

"Huegel's attention to seemingly every detail and his sincere goal of wanting to make outdoor adventure a family activity set his guidebook apart and make it a joy to read.  Every page is infused with the excitement the author obviously feels for the great American wilderness." 4Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine
