As Spanish authorities colonized Alta California, they established
21 Franciscan missions and four forts, or presidios, to bring the
native inhabitants of the region under control and to provide for
security and defense. Today, the missions and presidios are among
California's most popular historic landmarks, and enduring
reminders of California's Spanish and Mexican past. For travelers
and outdoor enthusiasts who want to experience a taste of all that
the area has to offer, this book contains short hikes, biking, and
other outdoor recreation opportunities, plus travel information and
natural history. It is a fun and fascinating tour of the missions
and presidios for vacationers and history buffs alike.

National River and Recreation Area, Canyonlands and Arches National
Park, Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores, Dinosaur
National Monument, Florida's Atlantic Coast Beaches, Florida's Gulf
Coast Beaches, Glacier National Park, Great Texas Coastal Birding
Trail, Gulf Islands National Seashore, Hawaii's Parklands, Mount
