This review is from: Hiking the San Francisco Bay Area: A Guide to the Bay Area's Greatest Hiking Adventures (Paperback)
A nice sampling of hikes but not enough variety to warrant all the pages. This isn't a book I can take along in my pack so I've had to photocopy pages which is a little inconvenient. This is more a book for beginning hikers. The hike selections weren't chanllenging enough for me.

By Hiker Babe (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking the San Francisco Bay Area: A Guide to the Bay Area's Greatest Hiking Adventures (Paperback)
My hiking buddy has taken this book along on several of the hikes that we have done. More than once, we have come to an intersection where the book says to go straight but it's a T-intersection and we can only go right or left. And true to Murphy's law, the book will never have a map of that section to help you out. Also, a few of the hikes where she said was a "slight hill climb" turn out to be monstrously strenuous. While some other parts of hikes that she said were difficult were terribly easy. I've long since doubted that she has done these hikes herself because no one who's actually been out on these trails can describe them that inaccurately. There are better books out there, stay away from this one.
