Review

Ann Marie Brown describes in loving detail 100 trails that span Northern California's beauteous countryside, from the redwoods of Humboldt County to the wetlands, Tahoe, and Yosemite of Central Valley. The trails are lovely, but Brown makes them accessible as well with directions, terrain factors, and the hours your average couch potato will need to walk it. She details each turn and tree stump of interest, where the wild flowers bloom, and the best knoll to climb for a supreme ocean view. She takes the anxiety out of hiking, so there's nothing left for you but to pack a water bottle and go.

Review

Meticulously researched and smartly written, Foghorn Outdoors offers some of the best recreation guides around. The books provide exceptionally reliable information on each location and activity, while emphasizing sensible, low-impact enjoyment of the outdoors.
