Introduction

How to Use This Guidebook

THE OVERVIEW MAP on the inside front cover will help you find the general location of each hike. The summary of all of the hikes on the facing page will help you compare trips and choose one.

Each trip begins with a short summary, including scenery, difficulty, solitude, and suitability for children (on a five-point scale, with five indicating the most scenic, difficult, solitary, and child-friendly hikes); distance; elevation gain; hiking time; the best season to go; recommended maps; and the trip’s outstanding features. Hiking time accounts only for the time spent actually walking; most hikers will want to add time for lunch and breaks.

TRAIL MAPS

Each trip description contains a map showing the trailhead, route, and notable features in the area. A map legend detailing the symbols on the maps appears on the inside back cover.
