<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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. Well-known destinations such as Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Diablo State Park, Mount Tamalpais State Park, and many other more obscure jewels of the Bay Area park system are just a short drive from the heart of San Francisco.</p><p>Completely updated and including several new hikes and a complete new map set, <em>60 Hikes within 60 Miles: San Francisco</em> guides readers to a splendid assortment of trails in the nine counties surrounding one of the world's most beautiful cities. 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>The Bay Area is home to one of the richest, most hike-able landscapes in the continental U.S. There are a number of destination parks, places where visitors from all over the world flock to walk among giant redwoods or to whale-watch. But there are also hundreds of smaller parks unknown to most tourists and even life-long residents, Huber explains. <p/>Many of these hidden hiking gems, Huber continues, can be found right in your backyard. Thousands of people living in the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, for example, can literally walk from their front doors all the way to the top of the mountain if they like. <p/>Huber finds the 60 best hiking spots within roughly an hour's drive from central San Francisco. By keeping its focus on the immediately local area, this new edition highlights even more of the lesser known hiking parks and open-space preserves -- especially those surrounding the Bay Area's most densely packed cities of San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland -- while still including major tourism draws, making it perfect for city natives and visitors alike.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A native of rural New Jersey, <b>Jane Huber</b> lived in Boston and New York City before moving to San Francisco in 1991. Once she got over the shock of driving a stick shift pickup truck up and down San Francisco's steep streets, Huber began venturing out of the city to explore Bay Area parks and preserves. Seeking to share her hiking experiences with others, Huber created the Bay Area Hiker website in 1999. She and her family live in a San Francisco neighborhood populated with hawks and hummingbirds, where views stretch to Mount Diablo and Mount Tamalpais.<br>
