5.0 out of 5 stars Almost as fun as the hikes themselves!, October 30, 2002
By D. Scott Hartman (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
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, December 8, 2001
By Thomas Hempel (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, January 19, 2007
By Peter McCluskey (Mountain View, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great content, annoying organization
For over a year this book has been my bible for selecting hikes in the south bay area. The authors' trail descriptions are vivid, and their routes are planned well. Read more
