Summary: The Best of the Best
Comment: John McKinney will never be accused of writing comprehensive hiking guides. Most of his books cover a broad area of California, and don't mention every trail one might encounter. His books do, however, cover the some of the best trails in California, and those with limited time would do well to consult his guides.

This guide to the national parks of California is no exception. Avid hikers with a lot of time to explore the a Park might want to supplement McKinney's book with a local guide, but for the vast majority of visitors, with limited time, this should be the first book they look to for hiking ideas. The book covers every national park, monument, and historical site in the state. As might be expected, Yosemite receives the fullest treatment (27 hikes) while Cabrillo National Monument, Manzanar Historical Site, and the Eugene O'Neil Homestead receive less attention. Every hike description, however, is full of historical and scenic attractions, includes a map, and provides sound directions to find the trailhead.

It's hard to argue with the content of the book. Of the 150 hikes McKinney describes, I've hiked over 40, and all deserve to be included in a book of this sort. One could easily add other walks to this list (where is the trail to Little Baldy in Sequoia) but nothing should be excluded. A good guide and worth the price.
