Step Lively Californians

Walkabout California got a great write up in the July Sunset Magazine. A father and daughter have devised 2 to 4 day hikes that cover scenic areas in Northern California and conveniently end each evening at a comfortable inn. I'm not sure how posh the lodgings are. Each of the 5 hikes listed (Marin coast, Mendocino coast, Monterey Bay area, Mount Lassen, and crossing Sierra Nevada) cost $4.99 apiece to get full details. I'm definitely intrigued and will start lobbying some of my hiking buddies to see if we can put together a trip. There's also a great resource page with books and links to other walking inn-to-inn groups. Makes me wonder if there are some good excursions in the L.A.area.
