 If walking through an area grazed by cattle, just walk quietly and calmly. The cows will be used to walkers but may be protective when they have calves. There should be no bulls on any public paths. Do not walk with dogs.

 Do not worry about farmers’ dogs. Aggressive dogs will be tethered; the rest will be bored looking after sheep. Never raise a stick to a dog as it will become confused. Just walk on calmly.

Using this guide

The 32 walks in this guide are grouped under three headings: the Northern Sierras, the Central Sierras and the Southern Sierras. Within each part the sub-sierras run from west to east. Each walk has its own information box with starting and finishing points, how to access these by car and where to park. (Information about travelling by bus in the region is given in the introduction under ‘Getting around’.) The information box also covers the distance of the walk, an estimated walking time, accumulated ascent and descent and a short description of the terrain encountered. The walks vary between 6km and 19km and all but two are circular. A table in Appendix A summarises the walks to help you choose.
