"To get to the heart of what so inspired Ansel Adams, we literally followed in his footsteps. We lugged our cameras up sheer rock faces and hiked the winding trails that led Ansel to his photographic revelations. And they led us to Ansel."

My brother-in-law did a documentary on Ansel Adams in 2002 for PBS, and that is what led ME to Ansel Adams...
This book is incredible! No matter how many times I look through these photos, they never fail to take my breath away.

Spectacular collection of Ansel's trees. Beautiful tritone reproductions that are among the best I've seen of his work. Nice selection of photos with some short snippets of tree related text from Muir and others.
I put off buying this book for a while because I thought it would be unremarkable. There are so many Ansel books covering so many subjects, so a book collecting his trees seems like it might be one of the less inspiring ones, compared to books that give a broader focus on a region or type of work, rather than just a single subject. But this is one of the nicest of his books I've seen and very much worth getting. It's a fine selection of wonderful photos and the quality of the printing is exceptional.
