Customer Reviews

A delightful guide

Stephen Altshculer's walking guide to the East Bay is wonderful. He takes you through the old residential neighborhoods of Berkeley and the East Bay with homes and gardens that have lots of character, up and down hidden walking paths that go from one street to another up the hill, and along creeks in the middle of urbanity. The book offers good descriptions of the various architecture in the different neighborhoods, clear instructions and maps for each walk. We have used the book on multiple trips to the Bay Area and find something new each time.

From waterfalls to stunning homes which blend with the scene

Older towns and cities of the East Bay offer history and nature: Hidden Walks In The East Bay & Marin provides selected walks through lesser-known urban environments which contain many surprises, from waterfalls to stunning homes which blend with the scenery. Descriptions of each walk include terrain, sightseeing and difficulty levels, along with small maps.
