Bay Area parks and preserves offer a dramatic variety of landscapes, from rugged redwood-forested canyons to breezy coastal bluffs, grassy rolling hills to sunny chaparral-coated hillsides.

Whether hikers crave a quick and easy get-out-of-town stroll or a challenging day-long trek through wilderness, this book is the perfect trailblazer, for city natives and first-time visitors alike.

Our new edition arrived yesterday, and we already love it. We first came across Jane Huber's hiking book a couple of years ago (with the previous edition), and it changed our lives. We were new to hiking, so we started off with a close one (Edgewood) which was one of the shorter ones in the book. The great descriptions helped us navigate our way through the Edgewood hike and the many fantastic hikes to follow. 60 Hikes gave us a new appreciation for where we live, and for all of the wonders that are just around the corner, or a short drive away. The book changed our lives, and hiking has now become an addiction for us. Almost every week, we try to get out and do a hike or two from the 60 Hikes book. We have enjoyed some of the hikes many times. Our goal is to complete all 60 hikes. We have, so far, completed 47 from the last edition. Now, we have a bunch more from the new edition to add to our list of fun adventures to come. The new edition comes complete with new hikes and new routes for other hikes. It also has even better mapping and elevation charts than the previous edition. Fantastic. I recommend Jane Huber's book to anyone in the California Bay Area who loves to hike (or is thinking of starting). I also recommend it to anyone who is thinking of visiting the area for business or pleasure. Adding a hike to your trip is a wonderful way to connect to the place you are visiting, and completing a hike from Jane Huber's 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles, will bring treasured memories for years to come. Happy Hiking.
Our edition of Jane's book is well-loved. We rely on it entirely when we are ready to hit the trail. Excited is an understatement when we heard a new edition is on the way! Bravo Jane, for hitting the nail on the head!
Definitely the best hiking book on the Bay Area. It has everything you could want. All the hiking details you need to get there and accurately gauge whether this is the hike for you on any particular day. Very accurate and detailed, never a problem finding the trailhead or following the trail instructions. Excellent maps. Lots of interesting background material on each hike, and lovely, readable writing.
I am not much of a fern & flora fan, most of this discussion about cute little bushes leaves me yawning. But the hike information and suggestions are terrific, as is the basic organization of the book. It really is a great book for the outdoor library.
The book introduces many easy to moderate trails.It was hard for me to choose between this book and "Top Trails: San Francisco Bay Area".Finally I owned both, and slightly more like trail selection in the latter book.
Wonderfully thorough text with great photos. Just reading through it makes me want to buy a plane ticket to SF.
A gift for a young man whose dream is to do the Pilgrim's Walk, Santiago de Compostela in France and Spain. He was surprised and pleased to discover so many trails right here in the Bay area and has already done a few..
Now that I've reduced my work schedule to part-time, I have more time for fitness and exploring the many beautiful parks and trails throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. "60 Hikes in 60 Miles" allows me to research hikes before I go, to know how to get there, where to park, how accessible the trails are, how long it will take to get there, how strenuous the trail is, what to expect and how to prepare in advance. Though the guide does not cover every trail in each park, it highlights a trail that is representative of what's available at that park or location. I photocopy just the few pages of the book that relate to a particular trail instead of carrying the entire book with me on a hike. I look forward to exploring all 60 hikes !
