Great Hiking Book on Big Sur

GREAT book for hiking in Big Sur. We did many of these hikes and the descriptions on how to access trails/length, etc. was perfect. Great diverse selection of hikes.

Great book

Like some of the other reviews have said, this is not a fancy book. However, it does have some great hikes. There are no color pictures or major details, but the basics are there. The mileage, elevation, driving directions, hiking directions and map are all given. I recently moved to this area and bought the book. So far it has been great. I recommend it.

Handy book!

We bought this book to take with us on our week long, mostly driving, tour of the middle California coast. We ended up taking about six of the shorter hikes listed. All were wonderful. Honestly, we never would have found most without this book. Apparently no one else would either because we were alone on five of the hikes. The information presented is clear and accurate. We had no trouble finding the trails and they were as advertised in the book. This was a great addition to our resource library for the trip. Highly recommended, at least for the casual traveler/hiker.
