From fog-shrouded coastal hills and stately redwood groves to the windy summits of Mt. Tamalpais, Mt. St. Helena, and the pastoral East Bay Hills, the San Francisco Bay Area abounds with natural beauty, wildlife, and scenic vistas--and thousands of miles of well-maintained trails. Top Trails San Francisco Bay Area is your portable guide to the very best trails in the Bay Area. Longtime San Francisco residents and intrepid hikers David Weintraub and Ben Pease have selected 44 "must-do" trips for hiking, running, and bicycling. Trails range from easy strolls to all-day treks, from 2 to 12 miles, covering the most scenic parks and preserves between Santa Rosa and San Jose. The second edition features new hikes in Muir Woods and the Presidio, more elevation profiles, and fully-revised maps. At-a-glance information helps you find the best wildflowers, fall color, bird-watching, camping, historic sites, and cool hikes for hot days.
