5.0 out of 5 stars
Almost as fun as the hikes themselves!,
By D. Scott Hartman (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South Bay Trails (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book that goes into great deatil about the many trails in and around the South Bay. It breaks down the area by specific parks and then suggested hikes, including mileage, elevation loss or gain, and time. It even has a neat little appendix outlining hikes by category (ie., short hikes, hikes to see spring flowers, etc.) The text is detailed, explaining what you will find around every bend, and the historical information on the parks is very interesting. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get out and away from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good book made better,
By Thomas Hempel (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South Bay Trails (Paperback)
I just replaced my battered copy of the first edition with the latest, third one, and it's a real winner! These authors' books are always educational, interesting and complete. And best of all they lead one into many fine hiking adventures around the bay. I've spent many a fine summer day following their instructions. It's about time they put out a new edition, because of all the new parks and trails they had to cover. Recommended!

This review is from: South Bay Trails (Paperback)
This book provides descriptions of all the parks in the area it covers, with maps that show nearly all hiking trails and advice on when is the best time of year for each. I wish the equivalent books for other parts of the bay area were this complete.
