Great book! Mar 13, 2007
By Julie
We have two other 4-wheel drive books for northern California, but neither one comes close to this! The color pages, descriptions, and added history and nature lessons are great. We enjoy the eastern Sierra and were glad to find so many trips for that area in this book. We can't wait for the snow to melt so we can try some trips out!

Big Book! Aug 05, 2010
By David M. Rosen
This is an excellent book as many other reviewers have already said. The maps, directions, GPS coordinates, historical information, etc. are clear, comprehensive, and easy to read & follow. Another nice feature is that the off-road trails are rated for their difficulty levels, with plenty of easy level 1 (no SUV required), trails for anyone who simply wants to get out and appreciate nature.
Do take note of the books dimensions (including weight), as it is huge! This is by no means a "bad thing" since the book is an encyclopedia of information and the size reflects that. But the oversize did prevent me from simply sticking it in the glovebox or door-pocket as I'd planned.

Excellent book -- buy the new edition Apr 18, 2008
By A. Verdugo
I won't rehash how good this book is, you have all 9 other reviews to do it. Just a note of caution, make sure you buy the latest edition (from 2006). Amazon still lists the one from 2002 first in the search results.
I like the GPS coordinates, and the fact that it gives directions and mileage for each trail in both directions. So you have a lot more flexibility on how you plan your outing.
Great Book Jan 26, 2012
By Darb
Excited to have this book. Great book to guide you through great backroads & trails. Still getting used to the directions my odometer reading and found the gps coordinates fairly accurate.
You need to own this book.. Oct 28, 2011
By sro
This is pretty simple: if you live in Northern California and plan on off-roading, you need to own this book. There's no way around it. This is the most comprehensive guide I've seen to the trails in this area.
Note: If you live in SF, and plan on going south, you should also own the Southern California book. The bay area sits on the border between the norcal and socal trails covered in the two books.
