Rating: Summary: Great trail running book! Review: I've explored a number of new trails and learned new things about some of my favorite trails using this book. It includes well-known trails plus the more hidden ones. The trail and area descriptions are detailed without being overwhelming and offer great alternate routes for a change of pace or a different mileage. The natural history sections gave me a good background on the areas and things to think about while I ran. I recommend this book for the person new to trail running, new to the Bay Area, or just wanting to explore new areas. I loved it!
Rating: Summary: A book for experienced or beginnning trail runners Review: This book helped me get off the pavement and start running on beautiful trails throughout the Bay Area. I recommend it to other road runners who are tired of the same routes along busy streets, or trail runners who want to discover new territory. The trail descriptions are enticing, with mention of wildflowers, views, and other sights and smells along the way. They also give a clear picture of trail conditions and route, with difficulty ratings. There are trails described for every county around the Bay. Several of my non-running friends have used this as a hiker's trail guide and sung its praises as well.
