Some are focused on specific areas or trails. Mt. Whitney: The Peak and Surrounding Highlands (Hiker's Guide to the High Sierra) by Thomas Winnett, Lucille Winnett (Illustrator); Paperback Mount Whitney: The Complete Trailhead-to-Summit Hiking Guide   Hiking the Sierra Nevada (FalconGuide) by Barry Parr; Paperback Lots of great day hikes with good maps and trail descriptions.  Good starting point for introductory hikes in the Sierras. Very few long backpacking trips. Starr's Guide to the John Muir Trail and The High Sierra Region (a Sierra Club Totebook/Fold-Out Map Inlcuded) by Walter Augustus Starr, Douglas Robinson (Editor); Paperback This is the classic description of the John Muir Trail in Sierra Club Totebook format. Still highly useful, but a bit dated due to minor re-routings of the trail. May also want to consider the book by Winnett. Guide to the John Muir Trail by Thomas Winnett, Kathy Morey; Paperback The John Muir Trail by Don, et al; Paperback Hiking and Climbing California's Fourteeners   Lonely Planet Hiking in the Sierra Nevada Winner, 2002 National Outdoor Book Award for Best Outdoor Adventure Guidebook
