4.0 out of 5 stars Family Coastal Walks, December 5, 2002

By	Fritz R. Ward "dayhiker" (Crestline, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This brief book is a companion volume to the author's '12 Short Hikes: Mountain Areas, San Diego.' Like the other volume, it contains short pleasant walks even young children can enjoy, and suggests some scenic areas to explore.

This book also has the similar problems to the other volume. Instead of maps, O'Brien gives black and white ariel photos. I don't find these as useful, especially when he outlines the trails in black, making it difficult to see the route he describes. It is also worth noting that only half of the hikes described are actually on the coast; others are in urban parks. It is still worth the purchase price, especially for families wanting to introduce their children to the outdoors.
