A route for every taste
This well-researched catalog of the diversity of hiking experiences in Southern California details off-the-beaten-path options for any interest and skill level -- hiking, biking or running. The routes range from Devil’s Punchbowl in the San Gabriel Mountains to Cold Creek Canyon Preserve in the Santa Monicas. The book spotlights each hike’s prime features -- waterfalls, wildlife, wildflowers -- so you can gauge attractions at a glance.
Whether you’re looking for a refuge from the metropolis or want to knock off 10,804-foot Mt. San Jacinto, Schad’s guide will get you on the trail.
