South Bay Trails: Outdoor Adventures in &
Around Santa Clara Valley: From the Diablo Range to the Pacific
Ocean
by Jean Rusmore, Frances Spangle, Betsy Crowder
Join hikers, runners, bicyclists, and equestrians on some of
the Bay Area's best trails.
The Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Book
by Tom Taber
I've bought several books in the past, but this one covers a
lot more of the trails in the area and with better detail. It
tells you if trails are open to bikes and/or horses, talks about
the camping facilities, details how long a walk you will have
and the types of things you can expect to see out there.
