It was actually in the early morning hours of 11 August 2002 when Galen 
Rowell, his wife Barbara Cushman Rowell, the Life Flight plane's owner 
and pilot, Tom Reid, and a passenger, Carol McAfee, were killed in a 
crash while making their final approach to the airport at Bishop, CA. 
The Rowells were returning to their Bishop home after circumnavigating 
the Bering Sea. Along with their many accomplishments as adventure 
photographers, Galen was also a special board member of our Sierra 
Nevada Bighorn Sheep Foundation.

You're right, it was  "The John Muir Trail: Along the High, Wild 
Sierra",  April 1989  pp. 466-493.
