Get ready for a classic tale of exploration and friendship in the next episode of the Sierra Rec Now podcast! Premiering next Tuesday, we welcome Richard Cliff and Elvis Fu, two adventurers who have spent the last decade exploring the nooks and crannies of the Eastern and Southern Sierra Nevada.

These longtime friends share a deep passion for the region's history, and they recently embarked on a unique project – retracing the footsteps of William Brewer, the 19th-century explorer who led the first survey crew through the Sierra Nevada. Their journey, documented in a captivating five-part YouTube series, followed the journals and inspiration found in the book "Up and Down California."

Join us as we chat with Richard and Elvis about their trek, which took them from the Jennie Lakes Wilderness area over Silliman Pass and into Kings Canyon National Park, culminating at the peak named after Brewer himself – Brewer Peak. This exceptional series sheds light on the pioneering efforts of Brewer, Charles Hoffman, James Gardiner, Clarence King, and Richard Cotter, the men who braved the rugged Sierra with nothing but their courage and rudimentary tools.

Tune in next Tuesday for an episode that celebrates the spirit of exploration and the importance of recognizing those who came before the likes of Muir and Adams. It's a story sure to inspire your next Sierra adventure!
