Summary: This is a TERRIBLE book!
Review: I took a 2 week road trip through Baja, so I know something about the place. Sadly, from these 2 weeks, I know infinitely more about Baja than the author of this book. It is terrible.

First of all, the title is misleading -- rather than describing both Southern California and Baja with roughly equal lengths, the author dedicates only 45 of 337 pages to Baja. Secondly, what he does describe is often incomplete, poorly presented, INACCURATE, and/ or useless. If you're going to Baja, get the Peterson's "Baja Adventure Book", which is much better.

Don't buy this book for Southern California, either, because it is equally useless in this respect. I spent a few days there, and this book didn't help me at all.

I wish that I hadn't wasted my money on this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great SoCal Outdoor Activities
Review: Since I moved to San Diego two years ago I've used this book on a regular basis. It's a great cross-section of outdoor activities for people like me who like to do a wide variety of outdoor sports. I spend a lot of time hiking plus enjoy ocean activities such as scuba diving and hanging out at the beach. This book showed me places I'd never have found otherwise.
