Book Description

The Bay area with its cosmopolitan cities and world-class restaurants sits in hiking and walking paradise. With National Parks, State Parks, local and private trails all over the bay its impossible not to be close to a nature experience. So there are no excuses for not enjoying the wonders that the San Francisco Bay offers. The book contains 204 hikes throughout the bay area. I include many of my favorite places and tastes in each region so you can either grab some food along for each hike or to relax afterwards and enjoy a great meal or a glass of your favorite adult beverage. As you can see many of the hikes have several routes and many of the hikes can be combined together, creating over 250 variations of hiking adventures. I've given you a starting place, but remember it's your adventure and meandering off and exploring is encouraged and advised, so you can find your own gem trail.
