- Book Synopsis
- Places We Swim California is a travel guide that explores California's wilderness through swimming, documenting the state's best beaches, hot springs, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and canyons. This beautiful travel guide is divided into six distinct regions (Northern California, Sierra Nevada, Gold Country, Central California, Southern California and The Bay Area) and covers more than 60 swimming locations, from river beaches in Mendocino to mountain lakes in Yosemite Valley, hot springs near Bishop, and beaches on the south coast in San Diego. California possesses an incredible range of climates and is home to some of America's most iconic landscapes. Places We Swim California leans into the relationship between swimming, hiking, road trips, and all the best pit stops the way - nostalgic diners, local breweries and coffee shops, smokey BBQ joints, and picturesque campsites. In many ways, swimming is the perfect way to access these landscapes and tell their stories.
