 Essential Book for the Weekend Hiker But Could be Improved Mar 21, 2010
This book is essential for anyone who enjoys taking weekend hikes in the Sacramento region. I've walked many of the trails, representing the classic day hikes in striking distance from Sacramento, Davis or Winters. The book is logically organized and accurately describes many aspects of each of the hikes. However, that is not to say that this book couldn't be improved. The regional maps and the local maps are too rudimentary. And, the driving directions are incomplete. You can't easily and reliably follow them to the trail head and they don't provide anywhere near enough information to keep you on the trail during the hike. I find that there is lots of trial and error. I'd appreciate more attention to getting to the hike and less description of every twist and turn of the trail. Do people really follow the book while they are hiking? Of course, when there is a fork in the trail, the description in the book is essential and it would be terrific to have these better highlighted. Amazingly GPS coordinates of the trailheads are not included -- it would be so easy to set the GPS and go (rather than struggle with the book while on the highway). This is the kind of book that would be better looseleaf -- it seems silly to carry the entire book while hiking. Also, I wish the typeface was larger so that I could read the book without glasses while on the trail. On days when I am well organized, I'll photocopy the relevant pages and slip them into my pocket. I hope that the author publishes a second edition of this book that every Sacramento weekend walker can't live without.

A top pick for any California library Feb 07, 2008
Any who would explore the valleys or mountains of California's state capital region must have TOP TRAILS SACRAMENTO: MUST-DO HIKES FOR EVERYONE in their collection. It covers opportunities both urban and rural and joins others in the 'must do' trips series, comes from a Sacramento resident and hiker, and reveals both major routes and lesser-known regions. With its trail feature charts documenting wildlife, scenic vistas and trails and its details on weekend getaways and maps, TOP TRAILS SACRAMENTO offers up key getaways for all and is a top pick for any California library, especially those closer to Sacramento.

Top Trails is Top Notch Jan 27, 2008
I've used many hiking books over the years, but Steve Evans' Top Trails Sacramento is by far the most user friendly. The book gives you good directions to each trailhead and a realisitic assessment of difficulty. Best of all, you feel like you have the author along with you, pointing out interesting tidbits and things to watch for along the way. The maps and trail directions are also easy to follow.
