4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Guide to Discovering California, March 4, 2001
By Joshua D. Hamilton (Santa Monica, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great book that should be brought on all California road trips. There are good descriptions of each park, directions, contact information, and activities available at the park. These activities are mostly short hikes, or bike trips around the park. California is a beautiful and vast state with a diversity of environments to explore. There are parks throughout to state that allow the active explorer access to the state's beauty. This book is a helpful guide in that exploration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for California State Parks., July 26, 1999
By CardinalZin2000@yahoo.com (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews
This is the best reference for the parks in the California system. Very specific directions,activities and some pictures highlight the text. We used it this summer to plan our camping trips. No Tom Steinstra in its doggedness,it still provides useful information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, July 18, 2008
By Nature Girl (Madison, CT) - See all my reviews
This book was a huge help in planning our first trip to California. I love to hike and wanted a better description of each park than the California State Parks website offered. This book delivered, we had a fantastic time and knew exactly what each park had to offer. It was our first time seeing the Redwood trees (totally awesome) and knew in advance which parks had the tallest trees, and gave background information on each park as well. This is a must have for anyone wishing to visit the State parks (state beaches as well).
