100 Classic Hikes: Northern California – Best Day Hiking and Backpacking Trails
I hike extensively in the bay area and so am always searching for new hiking books to guide me to more good trails. This looked like a good book with some new routes to take, but after closer examination I realized that this was a terrible waste of money and will be very frustrating to people who aren't familiar with the area. Why did the publishers of this series ask someone who lives hundreds of miles away from the bay area to write a hiking book on this area?
The directions are terrible, the names of the hikes are weird I thought there were many new hikes in this book but it turns out that he just gave familiar hikes strange names and he chooses some of the worst places to begin hikes. I found two examples of hikes that I am familiar with beginning in parking lots across the road from a good entry point that would be very difficult to locate instead if using a good standard trailhead that is very easy to find and where most people tend to start the hike.
I get the feeling that he never even did most of these hikes and instead just researched them on the Internet. I'm horrified to think that this might be anyone's first introduction to hiking in the bay area with other far superior guides out there that won't get you lost or leave you frustrated.

But the Bay Area has a lot of such lands and an abundance of trails on them. Even East Bay communities, with their thick urban development and nightly traffic snarls, have a parks and open space district that boasts nearly , square acres and contains over 1, miles of trail. The latter figure rivals what one can find in many national forests.

So where should you turn to explore all this wild territory that surrounds one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world? There are many good guidebooks to the region, but this new edition of Ann Marie Brown's ' Hikes' is an excellent starting point. The older edition was the first hiking guide I purchased to the Bay Area. It gave me many superb outings and the new edition is even better. Like many other hiking guides from Moon Guidebooks, this one is long on route description, natural and local history, and includes numerous black and white photos from the author so readers can get a glimpse of the local scenery.

Unlike other Moon Guides, this volume also has detailed sketch maps of the trails. The four chapters cover each geographical region and the hikes are fairly evenly distributed. Most of the trips Brown offers in this book are half to full day excursions. Double digit mileage is common and hikes from five to ten miles are the norm. The author does, however, include a number of "options" for those who would like a shorter, or longer, hike. On the whole, this is an excellent book. I can never decide if I like the Santa Cruz Mountains or Marin County more, but I have walked many of the selections Brown describes in these areas and think they are, without exception, the premier hikes in these parks.
Buy this book and start building some memories of the really wild side within the greater Bay Area. I've had this book since I moved to the Bay Area five years ago. I always go back to it to find interesting hikes whenever I have visitors in town. Great list of hikes for each region. Includes "Best Hikes" list for different categories bird watching, redwood forests, flowers, etc. Hints of what to look for, summary and difficulty info is available.
In these days of GPS usage it would be nice to have an address to type in to find the exact locations.
