[Greg F. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though several years old, almost all of the info in the book is still relevant. The maps are a bit simplistic, though. If interested in backpacking over several days, this probably isn't the book for you; now that I'm a father, I'm all about day hikes, though, so this book was particularly well-suited for me.

A solid collection of day hiking trails with some longer ones for those who want to spend the whole day or go backpacking.
