How This Book Is Organized

Trips in this book are organized according to the roads and highways you must drive to get to the trailheads in this book. Unlike the region covered in Sierra North, no road crosses the range south of Hwy. 120 for about 140 miles to the road that goes over Sherman Pass far to the south. Rather, in this region, roads penetrate the range from the west and from the east without crossing the range. Therefore, Sierra South is organized first by which side of the Sierra you must start on (west or east) and then, in north to south order, by the roads you must take into the range to get to the trailheads. The trailheads appear in the order you’ll find them as you drive into the range on that road.

The table briefly summarizes each trip from this trailhead:
