Hike the Parks: Redwood National & State Parks: Best Day Hikes, Walks, and Sights (Hike the Parks Series)

We used this book before and during our exploration of the redwoods in northern California. The book provided info that was clear, helpful, and useful, especially when planning our day trips. Info was presented well and was clear and concise. The book included info on distances (great for planning both driving, hiking, and although we did not camp, it gave what looked like excellent info regarding facilities), hiking difficulty, directions, timing, interesting observations, things to notice and avoid. I enjoyed the descriptions of the hikes and their geography, trees, plants, animals. The photos are well done. Later, my daughter and her family used the book, and found that it fit the bill. There were more hikes than we could accomplish in our one-week stay--maybe we will have to go back.

terrific resource & well organized

Description of text is unclear, had to download and return because it did not cover the area I needed. Otherwise looks like a fine guide.

Nice, clear, readable and informative. Helped tremendously in choosing our day trips.

Though nothing can actually prepare you for the stunning Coast Redwoods in Northern California--their beauty will quite literally stop your breath--this book was extremely useful. It's a guide for spending your time wisely, The easier trails, and the wheelchair accessible paths (yes! you can visit the redwoods with a wheelchair or walker) are noted, as are the more rigorous hikes. Places nearby to stay are noted. Amazon delivered this book in less than three days. Highly recommended.

Just want to mention that the title of this book is correct AND misleading. Uninformed, you might think, as I did, that you're getting a complete list of hikes in ALL the redwoods. However, be advised: "Redwood National and State Parks (RNSPs) are a unique state/federal partnership that includes Jedediah Smith Redwoods, Del Norte Coast Redwoods, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks." I did go to Prairie Creek on this trip, but also south to Avenue of the Giants, which is not covered. Hence. the 3 stars. I did like that the map in the front, shows the numbered hikes on a single page, so you can see how you might group them together. It's a good book for what it covers.

Great travel book. Very helpful and easy to use. Loved the smaller size to fit into my hydration pack. Thick pages and heavyweight cover to prevent damage when turning pages.

Loved the accurate descriptions of the hikes. The map was most helpful to make the most of our time visiting the most trails on our short vacation. Highly recommend!!

Used this on my vacation to the redwoods and is an excellent resource. Great descriptions of the trails & how to get to them. Highly recommend
