60 Hikes Within 60 Miles San Francisco: Including North Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay

by Jane Huber

Bay Area parks and preserves offer a dramatic variety of landscapes, from rugged redwood-forested canyons to breezy coastal bluffs, grassy rolling hills to sunny chaparral-coated hillsides. Well-known destinations such as Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Diablo State Park, Mount Tamalpais State Park, and many other more obscure jewels of the Bay Area park system are just a short drive from the heart of San Francisco.

Completely updated and including several new hikes and a complete new map set, Jane Huber's 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: San Francisco guides readers to a splendid assortment of trails in the nine counties surrounding one of the world's most beautiful cities. The Key At-a-Glance Information provides quick and easy assessments of each outing before you go, in addition to detailed directions and trailheads, GPS-based maps and elevation profiles, and engaging narratives about each hike. Whether hikers crave a quick and easy get-out-of-town stroll or a challenging day-long trek through wilderness, this book is the perfect trailblazer, for city natives and first-time visitors alike.
