Product Description: Although Southern California's mountain ranges are only partially wilderness, they bring wonder into our daily lives even from a distance. I wrote this book to remind us of this wonder, to champion the mountains' beauty and inspire their protection. In addition, I wrote this book for people around the world to know a seldom heralded dimension of Southern California. Several years ago I couldn't find such a book to show Swiss friends. Also I've always wanted to show our mountains' beauty to friends and relatives across the country, to come and visit them vicariously. "Call of the Mountains" is for you who can't get to the mountains, but glimpse them from afar and feel their wonder. Last, I wrote this book for you who already know these streams, canyons and peaks. For you, the following pages will jog memories of special places and occasions that are yours alone. My Story - and the stories of people I met - takes us along trails to historic areas, sparkling waterfalls, pristine meadows and the highest peaks.

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about LA may not be great museums, but it should. A haven of art and architecture, Los Angeles is a worthwhile destination, particularly for those who find pleasure in perusing the work of modern masters.

Again, using the detailed freeway map, head south on the 405 to the 10 and turn north toward Santa Monica where you can visit the Santa Monica Museum of Art or the California Heritage Museum. Stop for lunch along Ocean Blvd. and revive yourself with the view of the Pacific. After lunch, drive up the Pacific Coast Highway for a few miles and look for the newly reopened Getty Villa.
Another great culture day would take you to LACMA on Wilshire Blvd. and the Peterson Automotive Museum located right across the street. Downtown LA has transformed itself into a hip cultural location. Located on California Plaza, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has grown into one of the West Coasts premier showcases of contemporary art.
