Hot Showers, Soft Beds, and Dayhikes in the Sierra

Sierra Hiking... No Tent Required!

With this book in hand, hikers can spend their days wandering in wildflower meadows, hiking to cragged peaks, or swimming in cobalt-blue lakes in the Sierra Nevada, and then settle into a deck chair at sunset to enjoy the alpenglow. Hot Showers, Soft Beds, & Dayhikes in the Sierra describes 112 carefully chosen dayhikes in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, John Muir, Ansel Adams, Desolation, and Emigrant wilderness areas, and more. Many hikes have easy-through-strenuous options, and every hike listed is in close proximity to one or more quality accommodations (over 80 cabins, B&Bs, motels, lodges, guest ranches, and resorts are described). This easy-to-use guide by author Kathy Morey will help you plan your next active Sierra escape, no tent needed!

Kathy coauthored several previous editions of Sierra North and Sierra South and served as lead author for the most recent editions of both. She lives in Big Pine, California.
