Description

Have you every wondered about exploring California's Mission Trail? Join author Sandy Brown to discuss his latest publication –The California Missions Trail: From Sonoma to San Diego. Jam-packed with all the information a walker or biker needs to know about this epic route, the official guide will unveil this spectacular 802-mile route in all its glory- from its coastal mountain ranges, tall forests, and vast farms to its quaint towns, rugged coastline, and vibrant cities. About the author: With a collection of international pilgrim trekking guidebooks already to his credit, the book’s author, Sandy Brown, sees this volume, the California Missions Trail: From Sonoma to San Diego, as a way to celebrate his native state. Over 150 years ago Sandy’s family emigrated from Mexico to California, settling at Mission San Juan Capistrano in Southern California, and Sandy spent his early childhood in the San Diego area. So far, this labor of love has led him onto three journeys over the route’s entire span, accumulating over 2,400 miles on foot and by bicycle as part of his research. The discussion will include Sally Sheridan, a representative from the National Parks Service and Mark Wilkinson, Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Trails Council.
