Explore 56 trails in the superb open spaces of San Francisco's East
Bay
The East Bay of San Francisco, California, offers a diverse array of
hiking opportunities: the scenic shoreline of Point Pinole, the furrowed
foothills and windy summit of Mount Diablo, trails that are home to the
flourishing bird and plant life on Pleasanton Ridge and at Livermore's
Lake Del Valle. East Bay Trails is the ideal guide to the best trips
in and around the area's ridges, shores, wilderness areas, lakes, and
reservoirs.
Written by acclaimed author David Weintraub, this is the most complete
and up-to-date trail guide for Alameda and Contra Costa counties. East
Bay Trails presents 56 hikes, complete with detailed route descriptions
and at-a-glance information about length, time, difficulty, regulations,
and facilities. The text focuses mostly on hiking, but other outdoors
enthusiasts--fitness walkers, joggers, equestrians, and bicyclists--can
also make good use of this guide.
