Unforgettable Adventures
The adventures in Fifty Classic Adventures range from unforgettable whitewater rafting journeys to climbing challenges scrambling up mountain peaks. From easy hut hiking to challenging canyon descents. From super-classic adventures in national parks to remote, isolated journeys in places you’ve never heard of. From guided multi-day trips to do-it-yourself epics.
Easy to Hard, Over a dozen different adventure activities
There are enough adventures, bonus trips and how-to descriptions to get anyone outside. Many of these adventures have changed lives forever, either by instilling a life-long love of adventure, forging an enduring relationship with nature or even just creating an awareness of a previous unknown part of the country. There are also many "bonus" adventures so Fifty Classic Adventures actually contains about 70 adventures!
Mega-Classics to Under-the-Radar Hidden Gems
Fifty Classic Covers seven National Parks and two (Tahoe and Mammoth) fantastic adventure venues. But we also go beyond the borders, still near the parks, to bring you under-the-radar gems in which you’ll likely be alone in your journey.
Yosemite
Joshua Tree
Death Valley
Sequoia
Kings Canyon
Redwood
Lake Tahoe
Eastern Sierra / Mammoth
Easy to Hard
The Fifty Classics book contains both easy and hard adventures. The sample below from the book is a beautiful lake near Mammoth Lakes - one that many people don’t know about. Also in the book is the super-classic Mount Whitney, obviously very challenging.

Testimonials
This book really is wonderful -in the truest sense of the word, chock full of the wonders of these wild places. These pages reveal the spectrum of ways we can interact with these mountains. I’ve lived and played in this part of the world for thirty years and now Ney’s inspiring words and images have made me realize I’ve barely scratched the surface of what is out there.
