[Emerson]

Good in that it lists a ton of possible trips. However, it's organized strangely (segment by segment, so that if you wanted to plan a trip you'd have to flip all through the book - like a "choose your own adventure" book). But, I'm not sure I would have a better way of doing it.

Also, the descriptions don't seem to be all that helpful, thus the 2 star rating. The most helpful thing IMO are the elevation graphs for each trail.

One can never own enough backpacking guides, in my humble opinion. The more guide books, the more trips one can plan! I've used this guide to help plan trips on the Eastern Sierra in the Hoover Wilderness above Twin Lakes and in the Ansel Adams Wilderness near Devil's Postpile.
