This review is from: Best Short Hikes in and Around North Sacramento Valley (Paperback)

This is the only book that thoroughly covers all the local hiking options for people who live in Redding or Chico, or who vacation in that area. I've used it many times to explore the Whiskeytown Lake area, Shasta Lake, and Castle Crags. It also has a lot of trails down around Chico and Paradise, but I can't speak about those from experience. Although it came out in 1992, most of the information is still accurate, at least as far as I can tell. The areas it covers, like Shasta Lake and Whiskeytown, often don't have clearly marked trails and trail heads, so this book can save you a lot of hassle. The same author also wrote 75 Hikes in California's Lassen Park and Mount Shasta Regions. It's also really good. I take it with me whenever I go to Lassen Park. I give this book four stars instead of five because it is several years old.
