Five master photographers offer varied interpretations of the Sierra wilderness. Ansel Adams led regular trips into the Yosemite wilderness as part of his efforts to protect this rare instance of untouched nature, and, as a result, introduced thousands to its beauty. Following his example, the Yosemite Fund asked five well-known Yosemite photographers to once again bring the wonders of the backcountry to the general public. For five years, these five photographers spent a part of their summers in Yosemite’s wilderness region, which covers more than one thousand square miles of almost indescribable raw beauty, and the camaraderie that developed between them is evident in the reminiscences and musings that accompany their photographs. The result of this uncommon collaboration is a book of glorious prints, each imbued with its creator’s distinct style.
