SynopsisPlan and enjoy self-guided inn-to-inn hikes through the wilds of California Leave the car behind; hike Northern California; and end each day with a comfortable bed, a glass of wine, a great meal, and perhaps even a hot tub. Walkabout Northern California provides all the information you need to create a human-powered vacation in wilderness and in comfort. Hike the Marin Coast from the Headlands to Point Reyes, and relax each evening at pubs and restaurants in coastal villages. Cross the Sierra in the footsteps of the pioneers, and stay in cabins on the shores of clear mountain lakes. Take a romantic stroll along the beautiful Mendocino Coast, and sample gourmet cuisine at inns overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean. Explore mountain lakes, deep canyons, and other-worldly hydrothermal landscapes in Lassen, and enjoy sumptuous dining at a rustic guest ranch and a muscle-soothing soak in hot springs. This fully updated, full-color edition of Walkabout Northern California describes twelve walks (or walkabouts) along the wild Pacific Coast, through the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the Cascades, and around the parklands of the San Francisco Bay. Each walkabout is organized by chapter and contains all the necessary details to create a memorable and invigorating vacation--with a map, mile-by-mile details of the route, logistical tips on places to stay and eat, and inspirational ideas to simplify your travel and reconnect with nature's rhythm. Some hikes can take a week, but many can be enjoyed in a weekend. Some are challenging, but most are perfect for the casual hiker. With a light daypack and a few reservations, you can travel for days along California's breathtaking coastline or in its vast mountain ranges. Follow author Tom Courtney on a northern California walkabout, so you can savor the journey and the destination., Europe is renowned for romantic inn-to-inn vacation opportunities on paths worn by centuries of travelers. Modern-day trekkers can hike the Alps or Southern France, explore the British Isles at three miles an hour, or pilgrimage through Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, stopping each night at a hostel or inn. Now adventurers in California are creating a new tradition of multi-day treks from inn to inn in the U.S. Walkabout Northern California: Hiking Inn to Inn describes twelve walks (or "walkabouts") along the wild Pacific Coast, through the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the Cascades and through the parklands around the San Francisco Bay. Each walkabout, organized by individual chapters, contains all the information to create a memorable and invigorating vacation, with a sketch map, recommendations for optional maps, mile-by-mile details of the route, and logistical tips on places to stay and eat. Many trips contain variations for different lengths of time and budgets. With a light daypack and a few reservations, hikers can travel for days on California's breathtaking coastline or in mountain ranges. Each day on a walkabout ends with a comfortable bed, a glass of wine, a good meal and maybe even a hot tub. Some of the hikes can take a week, but many can be enjoyed in a weekend. Some are challenging, but the majority are perfect for the casual hiker. The accommodations for the walkabouts include a B&B perched on the cliffs above the Pacific, a resort on the shore of a Sierra lake, a historic hotel in a coastal village, a hostel in a national park, and a retreat center that soothes the soul., Walkabout Northern California provides all the information needed to create a human-powered vacation in wilderness and in comfort via 12 walks (or walkabouts) that guide readers on daily hikes through some of the state's most scenic areas and that end with a relaxing stay at a noteworthy inn.
