Hiking in Northern California
July 24, 2007 9:29 AM Subscribe
I'm planning a week-long hike in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, CA. What resources should I look at for planning?
I've got a couple guide books (the ones by Bob Lorentzen) and a large regional recreational map, and have been to coastwalk.org and the websites for the various redwood parks. I'd rather not carry the dozen USGS maps it would take to cover the route. Are there any other good books, topo or trail maps, websites, &c. that would help me plan a route? The tentative plan is to do much of the CCT between Eureka and Crescent City, with some detours into the interior of the state & national parks.

Last time I hiked in Del Norte, I forgot DEET and regretted it.
