Very Good Hiking Guide

I recently used this book, together with "Best Coast Hikes of Northern California" by Marc Soares and "California Hiking" by Stienstra and Brown, as a guide for a series of day hikes out of Santa Cruz. I found this book the most useful of the three (although all were good). It is thin enough that you can actually take it with you on the hike, and the hikes were all well chosen and described. One of the best feature was the small topo map included with each hike--not a replacement for a real USGS map if you are taking a long trip, but perfect for a 3-6 hour day hike. My only complaint is that author chose cutsie names for the trails, which made it sometimes hard to relate them to descriptions in other books, on park maps/brochures, etc
