50 Adventure drives for owners of sport-utility vehicles

From the Oregon Border to the San Diego Area

California Coastal Byways provides detailed trip descriptions, clear maps and photographs in a handy format that will help you and your family discover motoring adventure, solitude and natural beauty on California's backroads.

Escaping California's crowded highways and campgrounds has often meant standing in line for a wilderness permit, hauling a backpack, praying that the next hill goes down instead of up and that the kids will understand that this is play not punishment.

No more.  With so many people switching from sedans, station wagons and vans to sport-utility vehicles, California's wild and uncrowded places are more accessible than ever.

California Coastal Byways is your introduction to the unpaved alternatives in the spectacular mountain ranges between the Oregon border and the San Diego area.  With a factory-sock SUV you'll be able to leave the highways and explore lush coastal forests, pastoral inland valleys and high ridges and peaks, places relatively few people ever see.

About the author:

byth.jpg (10952 bytes)As the leading chronicler of America's top adventure roads, Tony Huegel has introduced tens of thousands of travelers to the most scenic and historic backcountry byways in the West. Tony's other family-oriented guides for owners of sport-utility vehicles include: California Desert Byways, California Coastal Byways, Colorado Byways, Oregon Byways, and Washinton Byways.  He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is now an Idaho-based journalist.

Praise for Tony Huegel's Byways series
Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family

"...well organized and presented ...one of the best guides of its type around." Open Road Magazine

"Author Tony Huegel has ... produced some of the best guides that we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole family.  [His Byways Series] all offer concise directions, clear maps and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road adventure."  Motor Week (Maryland Public television)

"Huegel's attention to seemingly every detail and his sincere goal of wanting to make outdoor adventure a family activity set his guidebook apart and make it a joy to read.  Every page is infused with the excitement the author obviously feels for the great American wilderness." 4Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine
