Hello all!
I just published my first guidebook for the Rae Lakes Loop in Kings Canyon National Park, now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
Into the Range of Light: Rae Lakes Loop – A Complete Guide to Preparation, Acclimation, and Walking Well
The guide presents a 5-day, 44-mile approach that extends the traditional 42-mile loop to include a night at Kearsarge Lakes. It emphasizes preparation, acclimation at Grant Grove, and walking well rather than fast.
What’s inside:
∙ Detailed daily narratives for all five trail days (counterclockwise from Road’s End)
∙ Complete gear guidance and Sierra-specific essentials
∙ Food, water, and bear canister strategies
∙ Daily field reference guides for quick consultation on trail
∙ Preparation checklists and Leave No Trace applications
The book uses a dual-voice structure: contemplative narrative sections explore why decisions matter, while practical field guidance translates philosophy into action.
Written for those new to backpacking, those planning this route, and anyone who loves Sierra literature.
