Hiking the California Coastal Trail, Volume 1: Oregon to Monterey (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: best day or through hike book I've seen for California coast
Review: This is the best book I have seen for showing in detail where to hike on the California coast, from the Oregon border to the bottom of Monterey county. Other books talk about restaurants, inns, city walks or big trails, but don't take you to the trail head and tell you where to turn left and how far to the next marker. Besides being a real trail guide (even telling where this "coastal trail" has not been completed and how to keep going anyway) the book has interesting history and anecdotes. I have looked at dozens of books on the coast, and this one is THE BEST.
