Spring catalog correction: The Gear up for Spring catalog inadvertently referred to the 100 Hikes series as full-color. However, only the 100 Classic Hikes series guidebooks are full color. Some of the 100 Hikes guidebooks include color photos and many titles in this series are black and white. This detailed guide focuses on popular hiking destinations in the Northern California Cascades. Experienced hiker and author John R. Soares leads readers from the dramatic basalt flows and lava caves of Lassen Volcanic National Park to the majestic beauty of Mount Shasta, and provides all the information needed to explore and enjoy these popular hiking destinations. The most comprehensive guide to this area, 75 Hikes in California's Lassen Park and Mount Shasta Regions offers both day hikes and extended backpacks, with options to suit every level of expertise, from novice hikers to seasoned trail veterans. San Francisco Chronicle - John Soares' guidebook for the Lassen and Mount Shasta regions is like a carefully filled daypack: it holds everything that is essential to the hiker, and nothing that is not.
