5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Guidebook to Many California Mountains.,
By A Customer
This review is from: California County Summits: A Guide to the Highest Point in Each of the 58 Counties (Paperback)
Without question one of the better guidebooks in print. I particularly like the maps, which are taken directly from the USGS topographic maps of the areas involved. It should be noted that many major California peaks are covered in this book, including Mount Whitney, White Mountain Peak, North Palisade, Mount Shasta, and the 3 major peaks surrounding the LA basin. (San Gorgonio Mountain, San Jacinto Peak and Mount San Antonio)This book has proven very helpful to me on hikes to California county high points, and I highly recommend it for anyone contemplating similar expeditions. It is also useful to those simply interested in learning more about the history and topography of the county they reside in.

This review is from: California County Summits: A Guide to the Highest Point in Each of the 58 Counties (Paperback)
This guide to the 58 California County summits is one of the most accurate guidebooks I have followed. Each route to the trailhead is precisely described. Although he allows the reader to discover many of the terrain features, Suttle traces the recommended route for each climb in enough detail to lead the climber to the summit. He also provides interesting information about each county and about the environment and the view. The book provides hints about camping in the vicinity of each peak (or in some cases "shoulder"). Each peak description is accompanied by a topographic map of the route, a classification of the climb, a prediction of how long the climb will take, and accurate mileage and elevation change information. When writing about summits on private property, he does not give specifics because the owners have denied his entreaties to admit the public. For anyone interested in exploring and climbing California, this will be a very valuable resource.

Great book, a little dated,

This review is from: California County Summits: A Guide to the Highest Point in Each of the 58 Counties (Paperback)
This book will really get you hooked on highpointing. It needs a little updating, but the information in it is good.If Gary Suttle is reading this, hey, why not come out with another issue?
