[Susie]

this book begins with an incorrectly oriented map of san diego; bad directions, maps and outdated descriptions - i'd give this book to someone who would like to swiftly learn to hate hiking and guides to it.

[John Lowe]

A concise guide and collection of the closest trails in San Diego County. While not as extensive as "Afoot and Afield", this is a great starter. The author provides good descriptions and easy directions. Recommended for the beginner and novice hiker.

[Matt]

if you enjoy hiknig and need to find someplace new - this is your book. Lots of hiking trails close to San Diego, CA. Rated by difficulty of the hike and also estimated times are given.

[Mary Ann]

Looking forward to trying some of these hikes next time we're in San Diego.
