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. \u003ci\u003eOne Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area\u003c\/i\u003e presents the \u003cb\u003e28 best overnight backcountry opportunities in the greater Bay Area, \u003c\/b\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiscovering 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 you'll find detailed information on regulations, agency contact information, crowds, and reservations for every overnight destination--plus human history, natural history, trail descriptions, fun activities, maps, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Heid is the author of 101 Hikes in Northern California and Best Backpacking Trips in New England, a contributor to Backpacking California, and a researcher and writer for three Let's Go guides.
