If you're ever in Orange County, CA and want to know how you can get out into the wild beyond the kind of wild that's been stereotyped by the thankfully defunct TV show, "The O.C." and hopefully soon-to-be defunct reality show, "The Real Housewives of Orange County", then please, by all means, pick up a copy of this excellent hiking guide. There's a lot more wild to Orange County than you might expect at first glance: redrock canyons, waterfalls, strenuous hikes to the summits of 5,500 foot-plus peaks (often snowcapped after storms), natural arches, sea carved shoreline grottos & tidal pools great for kids & exploring. Schad, in his usual, obsessively precise manner, concisely though encyclopedically, takes you into every nook and cranny of Orange County that, thankfully, only a small percentage of the OCs population know about.
