"Delicious Hiking! What a wonderful, innovative
hiking guidebook! As a hiker and Palm Springs resident, it is a joy to read
Linda's prose that so appropriately captures our beautiful desert trails. I am particularly impressed with Linda's description of
the Indian Canyons. Each year, HIKE FOR HOPE is held in these beautiful canyons,
offering 7 different guided hikes to raise money to fund women's cancer research
at the City of Hope. Linda understands the magic of those canyons and the
wonderful spirit that exists there. Linda has been a terrific supporter of this
event. We met her because of her book and our admiration of it."
--Eileen Stern, Desert Women's Counsel
