New book on Hiking Trails near Palm Springs

I just received in the mail a book by Laura Randall titled Day & Overnight Hikes Palm Springs. Click on the link to see more about the book or to order one from Amazon.com. The book contains excellent description of local trails including maps and GPS coordinates. There are 32 hikes listed and they cover most popular hike in the Valley, Santa Rosas, San Jacinto, and Joshua Tree. This is a good resource. The description are clear and the directions are easy to follow. I especially like the elevation profiles that give a better idea of what is in store for the hiker.
