Reviews

"...the definitive guide to hiking and backpacking the southern Los Padres National Forest, and the first comprehensive guide released in decades."
--Santa Barbara Independent

"All in all, Carey's book is an 'instant classic.' Wilderness Press has been setting the gold standard for hiking guidebooks since 1967, and Hiking & Backpacking Santa Barbara & Ventura continues that tradition with extremely detailed route descriptions and copious supplemental information about the area."
