Working with Kathy Morey on this project proved to be quite enjoyable. As usual, thanks go to Eva Dienel and the staff at Wilderness Press for their stellar efforts. I greatly appreciated the company of Keith Catlin and Jered Singleton on the trail. —MW

Many thanks to Debbie Clausen for sharing all those trail miles; my husband, Charlie Byrne; Mark Clausen for the long drive on Beasore Road; the helpful rangers at Clover Meadows for their advice and concern; and Kathy Morey for her expert guidance. —SC

Enthusiasm, support, and accompaniment from my friends and family were indispensable. Without my parents’ continual belief in my capabilities, my work on this book would not be possible. My gratitude to my best friend, fellow natural-world enthusiast, and life partner John Heid. Sharing most of the trips with powerful and inspiring women, Allison Wickland and Leah Edwards, provided hours of conversation and entertainment on the trails. Many thanks to Matt Heid for his inspiration and enthusiasm for outdoor writing. To Deborah Walker for her incredible flexibility and support. I would also like to acknowledge Eva Dienel, Roslyn Bullas, Mike White, and the staff at Wilderness Press for their ability to create stellar books cover to cover. And lastly, thanks to Kathy Morey for the opportunity to fall in love with the Southern Sierra. —AE
