One Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area: Quick and Convenient Backpacking Trips within Two Hours of San Francisco: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "One Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area: Quick and Convenient Backpacking Trips within Two Hours of San Francisco" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Hundreds of parks, preserves, and protected open spaces infuse the San Francisco Bay Area with a world of unparalleled natural wonder. Straddling a remarkable range of geographic and ecological diversity, it provides avenues for adventure in all terrains, seasons, and environments. An overnight journey deepens this outdoor experience. One Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area presents the 28 best overnight backcountry opportunities in the greater Bay Area, from the deep valleys of the Coast Range to the old-growth redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, from the shores of Point Reyes National Seashore to the remote corners of the Diablo Range in Henry Coe State Park. And all of them are accessible within a two-hour drive from any point in the Bay Area.
Discovering all of these adventures without help would be a formidable challenge. Nearly a dozen different governing agencies manage the parks of the Bay Area. Regulations, sources of information, and reservation systems vary widely by park district. Plus, the proximity of millions of people means that hikers usually must make reservations at least a few weeks before their trip. But this comprehensive guide tells hikers what they need to know to get away from the city hubbub for a night or two. Within these pages youll find detailed information on regulations, agency contact information, crowds, and reservations for every overnight destinationplus human history, natural history, trail descriptions, fun activities, maps, and more.

To Kieran May you always love and protect Nature

T hanks go first to the innumerable rangers and park volunteers who aided in this books research. Thank you for being the caring stewards of our parklands. I would particularly like to thank all of the employees of California State Parks, who have been forced to do more and more with less and less as the state grapples with its never-ending budget issues. Your dedication is appreciated by all who visit. Special thanks to Ted Jackson of Big Basin Redwoods State Park and John Verhoeven of Henry W. Coe State Park for their extensive assistance in providing the most up-to-date information for this book.
My deepest gratitude goes to all of you who have supported me over the years. To Gretchen, love of my life, for putting up with my dedication to this project. To my wonderful brother, who made possible an unforgettable journey on Tomales Bay, and to Analise for her constant encouragement to spend more time in California. To Dad and Joann, for always being there, including a bell-ringing tour of Angel Island. To Mom and Sid for your never-ending enthusiasm, love, and support of my passions. To Chuck Kapelke for taking the Mission Peak challenge. To Ben Hart for helping me fully enjoy the southern backcountry of Henry Coe. To the Ela family for their endless support. Finally, to my grandfather Albert Beck, for a lifetime of inspiration. May we all enjoy as many long, healthy, and happy years as you.
Thank you to my editor Laura Shauger, whose keen eye and steadfast hand helped guide this book to shining fruition. To Roslyn Bullas, for valiantly helming Wilderness Press and encouraging me to take on this project in the first place. To Molly Merkle and the staff at Keen Communications for accommodating this book during a time of challenging transition.
And to everybody, I say: Get out, have fun, and Hooray for Northern California!
