4.0 out of 5 stars Hikers helper-separates the chaff from the wheat, October 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 100 Hikes in Northern California: Covers the Coast Range and the North Coast, the Bay Area, and the Klamath, Cascade, and Sierra Nevada Mountains (Paperback)

Details the flora and landscape of the hike; degree of difficulty of hike in a straight forward, useful manner. I have used the book for several day hikes in the Lake Tahoe and Bay Area and the book has helped make the hikes enjoyable and fun. Heed the degree of difficulty listing, they are accurate.

BUY IT and ENJOY!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide and timesaver for the northern Sierra, October 30, 1997

This review is from: 100 Hikes in Northern California: Covers the Coast Range and the North Coast, the Bay Area, and the Klamath, Cascade, and Sierra Nevada Mountains (Paperback)

I had a short time to spend in the backcountry and needed some succinct guidance for choosing the best trail for my time and experience levels. The 100 Hikes guide filled the bill - got me from Reno to the Sand Ridge Trail. The trail guide and map was way ahead of the material I picked up at the Forest Service Ranger station and I had a great two nights on trails that were just right for the equipment I had with me. Well written, guide from guys who've obviously been there on the ground. I'd even buy the book someday if the library copy is checked out next time I'm heading for northern California.
