I purchased this book and Mike White's "Sequoia National Park: A Complete Hiker's Guide" (Wilderness Press).

I purchased this to help prepare for a backpack trip in KK/Sequoia where I will enter from the East (Onion Valley). This book is of no use for this trip. There are only several pages that cover the east side and the information in them is minimal. This book would be good as a light hiking reference for people driving and day hiking from the road running in from the West. There are no GPS coordinates and the maps are quite basic.

Their detailed (but not cluttered) trail maps are always excellent, the elevation profile charts are a huge help, and their standard format across all books makes it easy to go from park to park without re-learning a new system.
The Sequoia and Kings Canyon book is no exception. ... Read More
