I recently picked up a great field guide by John Muir Laws entitled “The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada”. It has great illustrations and information about various species of plants, insects, animals and more. If you live in California you should pick up this guide, it’s one of the best I’ve seen.

The Muir Trail in the High Sierras is on my list of treks to do and after watching this video done by Pete Bell I’m even more jazzed to do it. Video via: Modern Hiker
