The mountain is eternal, but trails change, and in his new book, Mount Tamalpais Trails, Barry Spitz updates and expands the roster. Spitz, who has spent more than forty years uncovering Mt. Tam's secrets, shares his encyclopedic knowledge of the mountain's complex network; every inch of trail was walked and measured.

The only useful book I have for Mt. Tam

4 stars

This and a prior edition are the only books I've found to cover Mt. Tam properly, with detailed terrain and history discussions as well as clear maps. Printed on heavy, glossy stock, it's a bit heavy to carry on a major trek. But no other book I've found serves me as well.

I threw away most of my travel books from before the pandemic. This 2016 guide is one of the few I kept.
