Shaffer's guide lays out most of the region's already known waterfalls, yet
it doesn't stop there. To make The Definitive Guide to the Waterfalls of
Southern and Central California irresistible to our readers The Definitive
Guide not only includes those well-known waterfalls that can be easily
found on most maps. Shaffer searched every state park, county park,
national forest, national park, state forest and national recreation area in
the region to locate waterfalls that are hidden and not listed on maps.
This book contains dozens of waterfalls you couldn't find on a map with a
microscope, and for good reason. Shaffer named them himself and he
tells you the secrets about how to get to them.
