North Bay Trails: Outdoor Adventures in Marin, Napa and Sono,
By
This review is from: North Bay Trails: Outdoor Adventures in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma Counties (Paperback)
I found North Bay Trails and the author's previous work, East Bay Trails, to be excellent. It provides great direction and is written from a hiker's perspective without confusing and unclear information that haunts so many guidebooks. The maps are always accurate and as fine as a bound format allows while the excellent photos help us choose where to go. The historical background is fascinating and the information on wildlife and flora keep me and my child going from discovery to discovery along the trail. This book has guided us to wonderful places we would not have thought or known to hike rather than take us to the often hiked Mt. Tam and Pt. Reyes areas (although his picks in these areas are jewels). This is a must-have if you want to hike the glorious North Bay - now, if Weintraub could just pack our lunch...

Comprehensive and Informative,

This review is from: North Bay Trails (Paperback)
I just started getting really involved with hiking and the North Bay of the Bay Area has some great parks, but I needed an introduction to get me started and prepared before I hike each park. This book details each and every hike from trailhead and distance to what to look out for on each trail. If you live in the North Bay, I highly recommend this as a primer.

A must for Bay Area Hiking!,
By JWC - Reader "JWC" (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: North Bay Trails (Paperback)
This is a very well written and well-researched book. Very easy to follow - as we know trails are often hard to follow with questionable signage - but this book has never failed me. I have been on a dozen or so of it's hikes and have never had a serious problem as it is a most reliable reference.
Well Done Mr. Weintraub!
