5.0 out of 5 stars For the, June 29, 2002

By	Stefan (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews

As stated above, this book is outstanding. Weurthner doesn't use schmaltz or gross florid language to help readers better understand the varied CA wilderness areas, and his knowledge is super accurate. GW also doesn't insult readers by giving ridiculous and pedantic trail descriptions (you know who you are Jeff Schaffer and Company!). This book resonates with a lot of dignity and will complement those automatonic guidebooks that you already own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howard Craig, June 21, 2000

By	Howard C. Craig (Poway, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I absolutely love this book. The pictures are outstanding. I love his style of writing. He's very matter of fact and tells it like he sees it. Hiking the areas he describes is what I want to do when I retire. Forget the rocking chair.
