Acknowledgments

Thanks go first to the countless rangers, public-land managers, and stewards of Northern California’s natural treasures. They patiently answered my long lists of questions and were an invaluable resource in ensuring the accuracy of this updated guide.

Many wonderful people joined and supported me on this latest book-updating adventure, including my brother, John, and his family, Analise, Ansel, and Siena; my mom and dad; Joann Volinski; Chuck and Benjamin Kapelke; Tom Hruschka; Grant and Becky Wayman; and Bob and Marsha Lewis.

Thank you to Molly Merkle and Ritchey Halphen for your remarkable patience and exceptional work in bringing this latest edition to completion. And thank you to Colleen MacDonald, Suzanne Shaw, and everybody at UCS for providing me with the time and support needed for this update.

Lastly, I want to especially thank my beloved wife, Gretchen, for supporting my lifelong passion for the Northern California wilderness and perpetual dedication to this book. Thank you, Gretchen—I love you. And to my two young boys, Kieran and Rohan—someday soon we’ll all hike the trails of Northern California together!

Hike on.
