suggestions on good books for trails in the Western US and in particular California?
I see these "Backcountry Adventures" books by Massey for various states. These seem to have much more info than just the trail. Are these worth getting? About $25-35 at Amazon for NoCal and Socal respectively. (Dang, So Cal more expensive, same number of pages, dang yuppies....)
There is also some by Wells, at least for So Cal and Moab IIRC. These seem to be more trail directions, with less additional info. That right? Anybody knows about the SoCal one? It's about $17 at Amazon.
These generally worth it or a waste of $$? Tempted to try.
Comments, comparisons, other suggestions?
TIA
