Synopsis 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: San Francisco by : Jane Huber

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 Consider yourself warned: Hiking in the Bay Area can be an intense and addictive experience. Sure, other areas of California are home to more esteemed landforms and parks--Yosemite is one of many world-class parks within a day's drive, and backpackers traverse the state as they trek one of the country's longest routes, the Pacific Crest Trail. Throughout the Bay Area there are many "destination" parks, where people from all over the world flock to walk among giant redwoods or whale-watch from a wildflower-dotted coastal bluff. But there are hundreds of smaller parks unknown to most tourists and even lifelong residents, and short drives (or in some cases bus trips, walks, or bike rides) lead to numerous parks and preserves with stunning views, bountiful wildlife, and quiet trails. These "backyard" preserves are especially beneficial to the residents of the Bay Area's most densely packed cities, San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. Local parks provide close-to-home outlets for exercise and nature exploration on a daily basis--thousands of people living in the foothills of Mount Tamalpais can literally walk from their front doors for miles, all the way to the top of the mountain if they like. Locals hike parks and open-space preserves bordering the towns of Berkeley, Mill Valley, and Woodside daily, and they take active roles in maintaining the trails. Getting to know your backyard means getting to love your backyard--and we fight for what we love. This dedication to open space has led many ordinary citizens in rallies to save some of our most cherished Bay Area spots. The campaign to preserve open space began in the era of John Muir, and the list of protected parklands is long and impressive. Battles continue, and development still threatens many special areas. As you make your way over trails throughout the Bay Area, think of what we could have lost and have already preserved: old growth redwoods in Muir Woods saved from logging, Point Reyes National Seashore and the Marin Headlands saved from huge housing complexes, various small parks including Edgewood saved from development as golf courses, as well as many other "common" plots of land preserved to make life a little better for the surrounding community.

Synopsis Sixty Great Long Hikes in San Francisco Bay Area by : Yongsheng Zhu
As a avid hiker, I like hiking at least 10 miles each time and prefer loops over point-to-point route. I also don't like to hike the same route week after week. Sometimes, I go through a few books without finding a single hike I like. There are too many short trails and too much scenery description in those books. That is the reasons why I write this booklet. You will find 60 great hikes in this booklet. These hikes scatter all over the whole bay area. Their lengths range from 10 miles to 30 plus miles. They have very little overlap. You can hike one route per week for 60 weeks without repetition! For each hike, I provide length (distance), elevation, shade and parking information to help you plan your trip. Once you arrive there, you can follow the hike easily by reading my turn by turn directions. There is very little scenery description so you don't need search for hike directions. For your convenience, no one hike spreads over two pages. Most page contains only one hike. Only a couple of pages cover two hikes.
