What a trail guide should be,
By
This review is from: Trail guide to Los Padres National Forest, Monterey Ranger District : Ventana Wilderness and Silver Peak Wilderness, Seventh Edition (Paperback)
This is exactly what a trail guide should be. So many guidebooks limit themselves to describing a few featured hikes, assuming that the reader is not capable of building his/her own itinerary. This book exhaustively describes the roads, trails, and camp sites of the Ventana Wilderness, complete with information on mileage, elevation, and the availability of water. It is a trail guide rather than a list of hikes. It is a "must-have" for any serious hiker who wants to explore the Ventana Wilderness.As Arthur Simon mentioned, you should also refer to the Ventana Wilderness Alliance website (www.ventanawild.org) for up-to-date information on trail conditions, since the trails in this area are notoriously ill-maintained.

The Ventana and Silver Peak wilderness areas near Big Sur California are very special places. This is the best trail guide available. Also, check out the Ventana Wilderness Alliance at http://www.ventanawild.org/ for up to date trail reports and news. Happy Trails!
