Free for the Asking: Monterey County

The well-organized “Monterey, Land and See: Official Monterey County Travel & Meeting Planner” has a calendar of events and charts listing hotels (with rates), restaurants (with price ranges), wineries, golf courses (with greens fees) and other outdoor activities ranging from fishing to horseback riding. Major attractions and tour operators in the California region are also listed. An index at the back of the 168-page book can help you find information tucked between the many pages of advertising.
