Day Trips with a Splash
The Swimming Holes of California
Pancho Doll
This clever guide details 105 natural plunges all over the Golden State and the hikes to them. The author describes only pristine favorites with no man-made structures within sight.
Access hikes range from easy to expert, from easy strolls to three-hour treks. Doll rates each pool for crowds, usability, aesthetics and overall, tells when to go, whether it's suitable for kids or dogs or skinny-dipping, and includes easy-to-use icons.
The useful maps include latitude and longitude coordinates handy for GPS units.
