Description:
If your definition of "hike" is a grueling, 15-mile uphill march in a 40-pound pack, this isn't the book for you. But if the thought of meandering (with or without the kids) through some of California's most beautiful mountain country sounds appealing, then peruse the tantalizing options in this edition of Best Short Hikes. The authors offer a short introduction orienting the would-be stroller to the history, vegetation, and animals of the region, then get right down to business with 74 offerings--a menu of delectable choices for the "hungry, eager hiker." And what a rich and delicious array to choose from! Whether your bag is wetting a fishing line in a glassy alpine lake, wiggling your toes in a crystal stream, or craning your neck to look up at a grove of giant sequoias--or a little of each and then some--this guide shows the way. With plenty of maps, easy-to-follow directions, and a healthy dose of pointers (how to photograph one of those massive trees, where to see a bright palette of wildflowers, when to catch a glimpse of an elusive mule deer), you'll be quickly your way to experiencing some of the best short hiking in the north Sierras. Use this guide to plan for a single day hike or, taking advantage of information on nearby campgrounds, an extended stay.
