Description: Here are the ultimate guides to active outdoor vacations! These regional, all-inclusive directories of trip-planning and in-the-field information offer a unique "one-stop shopping" approach to adventure travel and outdoor recreation for every age group and skill level. Each guide is a complete, all-purpose compendium of outdoor information that combines the best features of the three types of outdoor guidebooks currently available. You'll get the trip-planning and logistical advice of single-sport "how-to" guides, the "what can I do outside" approach of multi-sport "idea books" (vacation planners), and the detailed "where-to-go-to-do-it" information now found only in single-sport "trail" guides. You'll also get opinionated listings of commercial outdoor recreation centers such as alpine ski centers, golf courses, horseback-riding centers, and snowmobile centers, along with the author's picks of the best beaches, swimming holes, picnic areas, and more.

Here is northern California divided into a dozen regions, with complete details on the best sports and natural wonders. Everything from board-sailing, mountain-biking, and sea kayaking to "softer" sports such as wildlife-watching, fishing, nature walks, and day-hiking is covered in depth.
