PLAN YOUR TRIP

BY REGION

FIRES

Summer wildfires have become a regular occurrence in California, and some trails may have been affected since this guidebook went to print. Always check fire warnings (www.fire.ca.gov) when hiking in the summer, and confirm that trails are still open.

COVID-19

We have re-checked every business in this book before publication to ensure that it is still open after the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the economic and social impacts of COVID-19 will continue to be felt long after the outbreak has been contained, and many businesses, services and events referenced in this guide may experience ongoing restrictions. Some businesses may be temporarily closed, have changed their opening hours and services, or require bookings; some unfortunately could have closed permanently. We suggest you check with venues before visiting for the latest information.

A hike is more than just a walk in the woods in California. Its a full-blown body-and-mind immersion. Yeah, yeah, what does that mean? It means laughing when the mist from Vernal Fall drenches your last clean shirt on the Giant Staircase. Or yelling with surprise as a gray whale breaches calm waters along the rugged Northern Coast. Or wiping your brow as you estimate the distance of a palm tree oasis across a desert canyon. Even a simple forest stroll has a pull-you-in charm in California. Rest assured, you will place your palm against a centuries-old sequoia while exploring the Giant Forest in the Sierra Nevada. Yes, we felt it breathing too. The 60 day hikes in this book will swing you up to alpine lakes and granite summits then down to striking cityscapes and sunset-ready coasts. Just grab your hiking boots and your sunscreen.

g BIG VIEWS

From rugged cliffside beaches to blackened lava beds to sprawling lake-and-mountain tableaus, gobsmacking landscapes are a reliable backdrop.

Sandstone cliffs stretch for miles along wilderness beaches in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Enjoy expansive views of Half Dome (pictured above) and terrifying sheer cliffs on this Glacier Point Rd loop hike.

From the summit of an active volcano, see volcanic peaks, lakes and a lush former wasteland.

See alpine lakes, a ski resort, Sierra peaks and reminders of a pioneer tragedy from atop Mt Judah.

Your reward after this strenuous Death Valley climb? Panoramic views of the Mojave Desert.

c ESCAPING THE CROWDS

Its hard to find solitude on top-notch hikes near the city. Which means youll likely have to drive an hour or two for quiet contemplation.

This Big Sur park (pictured above)sweeps in dramatic coastal cliffs and a hidden remnant of redwood forest.

An abandoned lighthouse sets the tone for a lonely sojourn across a windswept beach.

This quiet trail unfurls beneath 2000-year-old sequoias in a lovely park deep in the Sierra Nevada.

Eighty miles from San Diego, this trail rolls deep into a desert canyon to a seasonal waterfall.

Get lost in hilly, oak-dotted grasslands in one of Californias largest and least-visited state parks.
