Afoot & Afield: San Diego County by Jerry Schad

This fifth edition of San Diego County's classic hiking guidebook features 282 trips, ranging from short, self-guided nature trails to challenging peak climbs and canyon treks. In Afoot & Afield San Diego County, coauthor Scott Turner has fully updated this edition, which includes new maps and more than 30 new hikes. The book encompasses almost all public--and a few private--lands within San Diego County, including Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Cleveland National Forest, the Cuyamaca Mountains, and numerous county and city parks.

For every trip you'll find:

• At-a-glance essential information, including distance, hiking time, and elevation gain/loss
• Notes on which trails are suitable for children, mountain bikes, dogs, equestrians, and backpacking
• Accurate and precise driving and hiking directions
