Best Short Hikes in California's South Sierras

This title is a good book on day hikes in the southern Sierras. Day hikes described range in length of a few miles up to one to the top of Mt Whitney. Descriptions of each trail is good with a decent map. I have two minor complaints. I wish the author rates the difficulty of the trails although some, such as Mt Whitney, are obvious. The second complaint is that the author should define creek crossing. Is there a bridge, a log, rocks to hop on, wade through the water? How difficult is it to cross the stream?

Great Book !

This is for an earlier addition of this book writen by "just" the Whitehills. I liked this book a lot.
