From Humboldt and Del Norte counties in the far north to trail systems of the Bay Area in the south, from the Coast Range to the east side of the Cascade Range, Northern California offers unbelievable hiking opportunities, especially when summer days-and summer crowds-are long gone. The hikes featured in this new guide are at their peak in fall, winter, and spring. Areas that are brown and dry in the summer will show off smooth green hills, oak woodlands, low-elevation peaks dusted with light snow, dramatic views, raging rivers, and waterfalls when hiked in the off-season. All the hikes are easily accessible and are of a length that accommodates the shorter daylight hours of winter. A useful appendix cross-references hikes by views, waterfalls, redwoods, wildlife, and other natural features.

of reservoirs and roads,
This review is from: 75 Year-Round Hikes in Northern California (Paperback)
i am disappointed overall. many of the hikes in far northern california are in fact at or around the gigantic mt. shasta reservoir. for wilderness enthusiasts or simply people who do not see beauty in a reservoir due to the unsustainable water practices of california agriculture, this book is a bitter pill! similarly, i went on a redwood coast hike described in this book that turned out to be on a road. the henry coe backpacking trip is also mostly on (dirt) roads. while dirt-road hiking can be enjoyable, i did expect to be notified in a book of this detail level when the "trail" is not a trail. lastly, the writing is newspaper-level prose, and on the back cover, the map of northern california is off: there is no san francisco bay!

This review is from: 75 Year-Round Hikes in Northern California (Paperback)
Bought the book for a gift so never really read it, but I did flip through some of the pages before wrapping it :) I loved the photos accompanying the hikes and the info box listing the level type, distance, etc. so the reader would know if that hike was for them.
I really liked how the book came to me in the mail. The packaging was great and the book was not damaged. I was very pleased.
