Book Reviews of 100 Classic Hikes Southern California
Book Review: Yosemite is not in Southern California
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has beautiful pictures and accurate descriptions of the hikes (from what I can tell of the ones I've done). However, fully a third of the hikes described are in Central California - Monterey, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, etc. There are plenty of guidebooks for those areas, so I was surprised and disappointed to see so much of this book devoted to them. As a SoCal resident, I'd wouldn't expect to see a book titled Southern California Hikes to include hikes that require a drive of 5 hours or more from SoCal. It's a lovely, useful book, but with a ton of wasted space for this hiker.
