(Tired of guides that list easy hikes that turn out to be 8 miles and take 5 hours? Then this book is for you. Most of the hikes listed are 1-3 miles long and can be easily finished by most everyone. Designed for the non-serious hiker who enjoys nature and desires a scenic but not exhausting walk through the woods. This book was designed to be easy to read. It includes large diagrams, elevation changes, trail descriptions, and driving directions. A section of color pictures displays the best vista of each hike. The guide is a good glove compartment companion for any family outing to the Lake Tahoe, Nevada area)
