Jerry Schad. 101 Hikes in Southern California

Отрывок из книги

Just beyond the limits of Southern California’s ever-spreading urban sprawl lies a world apart. In snippets of open space here and in sprawling wilderness areas there, California’s primeval landscape survives more or less untarnished. In hundreds of hidden places just over the urban horizon (and sometimes within the cities themselves), you can still find nature’s radiant beauty unfettered—or at least not too seriously compromised—by human intervention.

Our purpose in writing this book is to entice you to explore some of these hidden places. In the pages ahead you will find updated versions of trips previously published in Jerry Schad’s Afoot & Afield series of guidebooks on Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, plus additional trips from eastern Ventura County, western San Bernardino County, and western Riverside County—a total of 101 hikes described in detail. The overview map on pages x–xi reveals how the majority of hikes chosen for this book cluster around the major urban areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. As a result, no matter where you live within Southern California, you can likely access 50 or more of these hikes in less than a two-hour drive.
