California Waterfalls: Where to Hike, Bike, Backpack, Walk, and Drive to 200 of the Golden State’s Most Spectacular Falls (Foghorn Outdoors: California Waterfalls) Few can resist the sight of water tumbling over a rocky cliff or splashing down through a forested canyon. In California Waterfalls, Ann Marie Brown details 225 of these extraordinary spots from San Diego to the Oregon border, including drive-to and bike-to falls, falls requiring a moderate hike, and overnight backpacking spots.
Customer Review: Another great Hiking Book from Foghorn Outdoors!
I have a whole collection of books from Foghorn Outdoors - and several by author Ann Maria Brown - this is another great book in the whole series of hiking books that they publish. For someone like me and my wife, who like to hike to someplace and not just walk around - having a waterfall destination is a great thing and makes the walk more enjoyable. Brown delivers a wonderful guide book for those seeking to find waterfalls in California. This book will take you to small ones and huge ones; famous ones and the obscure ones that only the locals would know about.
We have been going to new waterfalls every time we take a hike and we still have not run out of places to walk. I cannot see us ever making it to all of the ones listed in this book but it is fun trying.
If you are a serious hiker, or like me (just a once in a while weekend hiker) this is the book you should own and keep around. It is also pure fun to read on a cold winter’s day by the old fireplace - dreaming about hiking in your mind.
Customer Review: Mostly good
This book gives good descriptions of how to find the better waterfalls of California. The directions are easy to follow.
Her choice of falls to cover is mostly thoughtful, but Tip Toe Falls is too small and uninteresting to fit my notion of a waterfall, and she omits the much more scenic Pacheco Falls.
