The book encompasses almost all public―and a few private―lands
within San Diego County, including Anza-Borrego Desert State Park,
Cleveland National Forest, the Cuyamaca Mountains, and numerous
county and city parks. It describes routes ranging from brief,
family-friendly hikes to multiple-day overnight trips in remote
regions of the backcountry, providing equal weight to the scenic
and recreational value of each trip. For every route, you’ll find
at-a-glance essential information, including distance, hiking time,
and elevation gain/loss; notes on which trails are suitable for
children, mountain bikes, dogs, equestrians, and backpacking; and
accurate and precise driving and hiking directions. Plus, each trip
features at least one significant botanical, cultural, or
geological highlight with detailed information about what makes it
special.
