True Nature invites you on an intimate journey through Sierra Nevada’s hidden wonders. Unlike traditional guidebooks, there are no GPS coordinates or detailed maps—this is a collection of moving and vivid adventures.
 
Each chapter weaves practical knowledge of Tahoe and Yosemite into gripping narratives set in places known only to veteran wanderers. Michelle’s gritty prose is like sharing stories around a campfire with a friend.
 
As you traverse these pages, you’ll uncover clues to secret places, but finding them requires embracing the same spirit of discovery that led Michelle to these treasures. True Nature doesn’t just tell you where to go—it awakens the explorer within.
 
“True Nature is a gem that proves the best discoveries aren’t on any map.”

“Equal parts ambitious adventure, unflinching truth, and courageous wit.”
