This review is from: Afoot & Afield in Orange County (Paperback)

This is a fine guide to the trails of the regional / state park system of Orange County, Ca.. Included are directions to the trailhead, descriptions of the parks, and a detailed discussion of each trail ( distance, elevation gain and loss, highlights, etc.) This book has many fine photos and provides an alternative to Orange County hikers tired of making long drives to the mountains or deserts.

This review is from: Afoot & Afield in Orange County (Paperback)

Everyone in Orange County should own this book. Shad explains all the details for a serious hiker to find the best trails and features in Orange County, together with technical information about the right USGS Maps, elevation gains and distances of the various hikes. But he does so with a simplicity that makes the novice, like most of us, instantly aware of which hikes would be most appealing. He even adds a simple ranking system to separate the truly challenging treks from the mere walks. If you want to hike in Orange County, this tells you everything you need to know. If you only want to find a small patch of green to stretch your legs, this is still the place.

If you want to learn about interesting day hikes in Orange County this is the book for you. There is a map for each area with several hikes per map. For each hike described there is a time,distance and dificulty rating. Descriptions of each hike are good.
