Moon 101 Great Hikes of the San Francisco Bay Area (Moon Outdoors)
The author of 12 outdoor guidebooks, Ann Marie Brown is a dedicated California outdoorswoman. She bikes, hikes, and camps more than 150 days each year to avoid routine, complacency, and getting a real job. Ann Marie's work has appeared in Sunset, VIA, Backpacker, and California magazines. As a way of giving back a bit of what she gets from her outdoor experiences, she writes and edits for several environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and National Resources Defense Council. When not riding or hiking along a California trail, Ann Marie can be found at her home just a few miles from Yosemite National Park.
