1.The Mountains of CaliforniaThe Mountains of California
from Sierra Club Books
Price: $45.85

Customer Review:
At one time, perhaps when few were able to travel, this book would have been a gem. If you enjoy detailed descriptions, incredibly well written, you will enjoy this book. But for me, I will just continue to revere John Muir for the inspirational human he was!

2.Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays and Reflections)Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections)
from Ballantine Books
Price: $3.84

Customer Review:
On another web site, I listed Sand County Almanac as the book that had changed me more than any other book. I came to the book at a time when I was educated enough to understand its message and to recognize how revolutionary it was. By now, many decades later, the message isn't quite as... more info

3.The Last SeasonThe Last Season
from HarperCollins
Price: $5.75

Customer Review:
Would Randy Morgenson have approved of Eric Blehm's chronicle of his life and the portrait conveyed of him? Those who knew him personally and wrote reviews on this site can answer that much better than I, but somehow my intuition tells me he would. Blehm does a commendable job of piecing together... more info

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $5.77

Customer Review:
M L Lamendola has written an eleven page review of Dark Summit. It is because of this incredibly cogent, fascinating, and articulate account that I am now ordering Dark Summit on my Kindle. I read - several times - Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and found it an excellent read. I now exoect to be as... more info

5.High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of GreedHigh Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed
from Hyperion
Price: $3.51

Customer Review:
Book: 5 stars, Audio: 3 stars
This is only the second audio book I have "read" so it didn't occur to me to look closely at the case until I was 3/4 of the way thru. I FAIL! It was abridged. I HATE abridged books! I finished it, then went to the library and signed out the book.
The book... more info

Customer Review:
"AWOL on the Appalachian Trail" by David Miller
Of the many accounts I have read on hiking the Appalachian Trail, this one stands out as among the best.
David Miller conveys the daily challenges and achievements of very long distance hiking in a way that few other authors manage and also... more info

7.In the Shadow of Denali: Life and Death on Alaska s Mt. McKinleyIn the Shadow of Denali: Life and Death on Alaska's Mt. McKinley
from The Lyons Press
Price: $9.59

Customer Review:
Although the premise of the book is good, and the author does write well, I find that the book was somewhat self-indulgent and campy. He makes way to much of the coincidence that another Waterman (Johnny Waterman) liked to climb mountains. There is also way too much filler about other expeditions... more info

Customer Review:
Over seventy views of Mt. Tam are presented in a combination of history, prints and poetry - a fine literary collaboration by the authors of THE HIGH SIERRA OF CALIFORNIA. It's rich in essays and art and offers any Northern California library or resident a 'must have' survey of Mt. Tamalpais'... more info

9.The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on EverestThe Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest
from St. Martin's Paperbacks
Price: $1.84

Customer Review:
I have never climbed a mountain, and I never will, but when I have hard times I like to read about people who have a tougher time of it than I do. The Climb fits the bill. What suffering!
The question: Why? Why would anyone pay a $65K fee to join an expedition like the ones that tackled Everest... more info

10.The Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring Desert and Mountain SpiritualityThe Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring Desert and Mountain Spirituality
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $30.00

Customer Review:
Belden Lane has written a remarkable book. I so appreciate his modesty as exhibited, for example, at p. 217: "What little expertise I can offer to legitimate these words lies less in the training of a scholar than in the perseverance of the companero, one who has traveled with another through... more info
