Sespe WildernessThe United States Congress designated the Sespe Wilderness in 1992 and now has a total of 219,468 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Los Padres National Forest in the Ojai and Mt. Pinos Ranger Districts and is managed by the Forest Service. Sespe Wilderness provides ample evidence of past violent geological upthrusts. The landscape is bleak and jagged, and if you climb high enough, you'll find pine trees growing at odd angles on boulder swept

The United States Congress designated the Sespe Wilderness in 1992 and now has a total of 219,468 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Los Padres National Forest in the Ojai and Mt. Pinos Ranger Districts and is managed by the Forest Service.

Sespe Wilderness provides ample evidence of past violent geological upthrusts. The landscape is bleak and jagged, and if you climb high enough, you'll find pine trees growing at odd angles on boulder-swept hillsides. Sespe Creek, the last remaining undammed river in Southern California, runs for 31.5 Wild and Scenic miles (most of it in the Wilderness), and 10.5 miles of Upper Sespe Creek are under consideration for designation. Sandstone cliffs rise as much as 500 feet above the water in places, and fabulous sandstone formations stand in portions of the area. You may see petroglyphs and other evidence of ancient Indians. You might also spot black bears, deer, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, rattlesnakes, red-tailed hawks, and golden eagles. The 53,000-acre Sespe Condor Sanctuary is located here, but public entry is prohibited to protect California condors. The wilderness area is a part of the fourth largest roadless region left in the Lower 48, and it's the one closest to a large metropolitan area.

Numerous trails provide access, and human use is moderate. The Gene Marshall-Piedra Blanca National Recreation Trail leads 18 miles through impressive white rocks to pleasant campsites nestled in conifers, a boon when much of the area lies without shade. The Sespe River Trail (17.5 miles) leads past cool swimming holes that thin down to shallows in the dry period, and on to Sespe Hot Springs and some of the hottest natural water in America.

Perfect first shark book for littles
Format: Paperback
The book is super easy to read to my 4 year old son! He’s been really into sharks so I wanted something that was overpowered by facts on each page. This one is perfect! Each page has a different shark and the page do not have lengthy text but enough to still be educational. Keeps his attention and he’s able to learn a little bit about each shark. Perfect first shark book!

Great pictures and good information
Format: Paperback
Wonderful pictures allow my 3 yr old grandson to not only learn about many sharks , but good information as well. He can name the sharks , memorizing them perhaps, but yet has learned the distinct features of many from this book.

Surprisingly awesome
Format: Paperback
This book is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at the detailed information inside considering its price. My kids are 2 and 5 and love looking at the pictures while I read the information to them. It’s not so overboard that my it’s over my 5 year old’s head but detailed enough to supply him with new knowledge. This is perfect to go along with our household shark obsession.
