Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) is part of a national movement to establish parks that are readily accessible to city-dwellers. After a vigorous grassroots campaign, Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area was signed into being by President Gerald Ford in December 1974 and in 2000 became Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Stretching between Cleveland and Akron in heavily urbanized northeastern Ohio, CVNP has been called a Green-Shrouded Miracle, preserving precious green space and offering a retreat to more than 3,200,000 visitors each year. In succinct, readable prose complemented by stunning photographs, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Handbook provides a brief but comprehensive history of the park - the people, the land, the ecology, and the politics that led to its creation. Author Carolyn Platt and staff from CVNP included historic and contemporary photographs and illustrations to enhance this handbook.

The Pacific Crest Trail was designated as one of the first National Scenic Trails way back in 1968. As it traverses the “high road” from Mexico to Canada, incredible views are not only commonplace but also uniquely diverse, because the trail connects six of North America’s seven eco-zones. The PCT’s familiar, well-worn path is a special place for hikers from all walks of life on walks of all lengths and for all reasons. Instead of guiding you through the arduous task of hiking the entire PCT, the goal of this book is to help you plan trips that incorporate hiking on the PCT in Southern California, whether you have just an afternoon to spare or you want to escape for the entire weekend. Carefully edited maps and elevation graphs generated with GPS data collected by the author on the trail will help make your trip a success. This cargo-pocket guide offers author-tested advice to help you make the most of your time away from civilization, however long (or short) that stretch may be.
