5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource!, January 26, 2006

By	Amy Racina "Author -Angels in the Wilderness" (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My walking buddies and I use the invaluable "Hiker's hip pocket Guide to Sonoma County" as our hiking bible. It tells us everything we need to know: Trail length, difficulty, elevation gain, and how to get to the trailhead, all in a clear, concise, easy-to-read format. Bob Lorentsen de-mystifies the confusing world of Sonoma County hiking and provides a path to understandable trail access for anyone from the novice hiker to the experienced backpacker. His vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna of the area are enough to send even the most timid trekker heading for the hills in anticipation of the glories of our Sonoma County landscapes. 50 delightful trails, and all in a small handy size, convenient for tossing into a daypack, or stashing in your hip pocket. Thanks for this great resource!
