About the Authors

Inspired by the Central California Coast's untamed beauty, Quebec-born writer, author of five hiking guides and Monterey Herald "Away We Go" travel columnist Linda Mullally relocated to Carmel, California 31 years ago with her attorney/photographer and co-author husband, David. Their chemistry amplifies her wanderlust, luring them to explore mountain kingdoms from the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains to the Himalaya and Alps to the Andes. When not sharing her travel adventures hiking, biking and cruising, with readers, Linda combines her passion for outdoor recreation with her love of dogs by training four-legged hikers to become well-mannered trail companions. Linda's travel presentations for REI outdoor recreation stores and local community organizations are enhanced by David's photography and videos.
