About Us

When Thomas Winnett published Sierra North in 1967, no other trail guides like it existed for the backcountry. The first run of 2,800 copies sold out in less than two months and its success heralded the beginning of Wilderness Press. In the past 40 years, we have expanded our boundaries to cover all of California, Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S. Southwest and Pacific Northwest, New England, Canada, and Baja.

Wilderness Press continues to set the mark for comprehensive, accurate, and readable outdoor books. From sea kayaking to snowshoeing, and leisurely rambles through the woods to challenging climbs on glacial mountains, we publish and distribute the highest quality books and maps in the industry. Hikers, backpackers, kayakers, skiers, snowshoers, climbers, surfers, and trail runners rely on Wilderness Press for accurate outdoor adventure information.
