G. Kent has spent a lifetime hiking and backpacking throughout the United States, but Los Angeles is his home stomping ground. In Hiking Around Los Angeles with Joaquin Murrieta, Kent provides detailed instructions for finding and hiking his twenty-five favorite trails, and how to best enjoy yourself when you do. More than that, Kent shares history, lore and personal observations - not excluding a rant or two - which greatly enrich the experience. He makes you want to get outdoors for the pure joy of it, and at the same time learn more about the natural world and how best to preserve it for future generations. In his foreword, Greystone Holt says about Kent, "I just think he hears and sees things in the wilderness that most people don't notice." There's the first trail up ahead. Lace up your hiking boots, take a deep breath and prepare to have some fun.
