From Humboldt and Del Norte counties in the far north to trail systems of the Bay Area in the south, from the Coast Range to the east side of the Cascade Range, Northern California offers unbelievable hiking opportunities, especially when summer days-and summer crowds-are long gone. The hikes featured in this new guide are at their peak in fall, winter, and spring. Areas that are brown and dry in the summer will show off smooth green hills, oak woodlands, low-elevation peaks dusted with light snow, dramatic views, raging rivers, and waterfalls when hiked in the off-season. All the hikes are easily accessible and are of a length that accommodates the shorter daylight hours of winter. A useful appendix cross-references hikes by views, waterfalls, redwoods, wildlife, and other natural features.
