The Last Season by Eric Blehm

5.0

Excellent portrait of love for the Sierras

Randy Morgenson had one love in his life, and he enjoyed it every summer - the High Sierras.

Unfortunately, a tricky snowfield and a dead radio led to his death in 1996.

Eric Blehn does "flashback" style well, alternating chapters between the hunt for Morgenson after a missing person alert was officially declared, and chapters beginning with Eric's childhood through his years in Kings Canyon National Park.

Having gone a little way into the backcountry there, the last time this May, when a bone-dry California already had many of the peaks of the Sierras almost bare, I loved this book.
