4.0 out of 5 stars Good guide, February 17, 2006

I have used this guide to find dirt roads and admit that it is easy to read and the roads suggested in the book matched the description I found once on location. This guide is one of the very few available for such backcountry travel and the author deserve credit for putting together a good guide for CA. Combined with a GPS, it is practical without being ultra precise or over-complicated. It is after all a family oriented travel guide and therefore simple and accessible. For the ultra perfectionist, getting satellite maps or other high definition topographic maps may shed more light on top of this basic guide

4.0 out of 5 stars Good guide but not 4x4 trails, April 10, 2010

Lots of good out of the way trips. Most can be traveled by any high clearance vehicle without 4x4. Not much for 4WD treks; therefore, look for other books for 4x4 trails.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maps missing trail information, June 3, 2011

I have to admit I really enjoyed the book upon receiving it. But then when I actually looked at the map detail on a couple trails I was preparing for, I noticed the colored trail information was completely missing. In other words, the trail was omitted from the map page on 3 of the 50 trails inside the book. Naturally, it was on the 3 trails I was seriously reviewing for trips. Page 87, 95 and 105 have no trail lines printed. I am sure this is a printing error. I sent an email request to the MFR for a replacement copy to be sent to me at once. Once I receive feedback from them, I will add the resolution information to my review.
