Editorial Reviews
Review
"California Coastal Byways is well-organized and presented, striking a solid balance between just enough information and too much; one of the best guides of its type around. Every West Coast-bound SUV should have a copy in the glovebox." Maryland Public Television's MotorWeek program said, "Author Tony Huegel has produced some of the best guides that we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole family. (Byways guides) all offer concise directions, clear maps and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road adventure." -- Open Road Magazine
From the Publisher
Thanks to the modern sport-utility vehicle, motoring through California's spectacular and varied wildlands is now as much for Buffy as Bubba. Whether you're a footloose single, family with young children or a vagabonding retiree, you can use the off-highway travel capabilities built into your SUV to comfortably and safely explore the backcountry byways of California's coastal mountains more easily than ever before. Happy trails!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A surprising array of off-highway roads along the coast.,
By A Customer
This review is from: California Coastal Byways: Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family (Backcountry Byways) (Spiral-bound)
Who'd ever think that California, of all places, would have so many beautiful little dirt roads through the coastal mountains? It was such a pleasant surprise to see so much of wild, old California still in existence, thanks to this book and my Toyota 4Runner. At last, a guide for the non-hard-core four-wheeler!

A terrific guide for rural California backroad explorations!,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Coastal Byways: Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family (Backcountry Byways) (Spiral-bound)
The spiral binding of this paperback may not make it accessible for library lending, but individuals seeking a family driving guide for backcountry California will find it wonderful. California Coastal Byways covers roads from the Oregon border to San Diego, focussing on the coastal Route 1 and offroad between this and 101. It's easy to look at the general map, choose a specific region, then read the different trip descriptions which include notes for car, bicycle and stops along the way, maps needed and how to get there. Highly recommended for any California resident or visitor who enjoys rural back roads explorations.

Great glove-box trail guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: California Coastal Byways: Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family (Backcountry Byways) (Spiral-bound)
As new owners of a 4x4 SUV, we bought this book as a guide for weekend off-roading. We have done a few of the trails in San Diego and found Tony's book to be informative; with times, highlights of the trail by mile, and any cautions needed. However,'El Nino' has changed some terrain since the 1995 printing. We found some trails designated "easy" are now "moderate", etc., according to Tony's definitions. Great resource for finding those dirt roads and heading off into nature!
