I just bought a new copy after my old one went missing. Now seven years old, this edition is getting slightly out of date, but remains the best guide to San Diego hiking trails around. Very clear and helpful, plus you learn a little natural history about each area.

Rides are vary from 6 to 60 miles, most 20-40 miles. Each includes an elevation profile for the ride. Many also include historic information for sites enroute, and interesting stops.

Photos are quite good. Text is historically accurate for the period 8-10 years before the passage of the California Desert Protection Act in 1994. That law changed the names of many areas and added new protections to over 3 million more acres.

Jerry Schad has been writing these detailed guides to hiking in San Diego for many years. I have several previous editions, and this one is a welcomed addition to the collection as it covers many areas after the Cedar Fire of 2003. Schad profiles the hikes according to difficulty, provides maps and directions, and writes a step-by-step illustration of the experience of walking on each trail. The book is divided into areas of San Diego County, so that the reader can select a chapter according to which area he/she might choose to travel to that day. Schad also recommends the best season for experiencing each trail. This is a great book for natives of San Diego County who want to get to know their tourist options as walkers, birders, or hikers. It is also a wonderful tool for visitors of San Diego who would be interested in the outdoors.… (altro)
