    1. Guyla, California Hiking by Tom Stienstra is an excellent resource to find awesome hiking places, in the Bay Area as well as in the entire state. Sarah.

    2. Good for you, Guyla! Nine miles is perfect for us. Mount Diablo is one of our very favorite places to hike. Wish you lived closer so you could join us!

    4. No worries, Sarah! Guyla and I are in an online cooking group together. One never knows when one will visit the Bay Area. Always nice to have recommendations. I too will check out the book you mentioned. :)
