TREKKING CALIFORNIA

· 20 treks (multi-day outings 30-90 miles in length)

From the wild and rugged Lost Coast south of Eureka to the lofty summit of
Mount Whitney, from the little-known Warner Wilderness Area in the northeast
corner of California to remote areas of Yosemite National Park, Trekking
California offers a deeper wilderness experience. This guide includes moderate
treks that stitch together established trails for longer journeys and more
challenging outings that require some cross-country travel and route finding
to link one trail with another.
Trekking California discusses variations on itineraries-including starting in
the reverse direction-with suggested side trips and route directions for
summit scrambles. It’s chock-full of tables and charts for at-a-glance
reference, including one that summarizes the distance between mileposts, a
running total of miles, and elevation losses and gains between each milepost.
This is your one-stop planner, offering an equipment checklist, menu planner,
and list of photo opportunities for each trek.
