Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A deck of 50 waterproof cards that detail great day hikes throughout Northern or Southern California.
Why we love it:
If you love the outdoors and either live in or plan to visit California, you should check out the "Hooked on Hiking" series. Written by veteran hiker and outdoor author Ann Marie Brown, you can choose 50 wonderful day hikes in either Northern or Southern California. Each waterproof card is printed with a color topographical map on the front followed by route description and directions to the trail head on the reverse. And, unlike a traditional guidebook, the cards are held together by a carabiner so it's easy to take one out and carry it with you on your adventure. Each hike is guaranteed to please with the longest hike at only 9 miles and the shorter hikes at barely a mile. A wonderful way to enjoy the California sunshine!
