Endicott is a Certified Interpretive Guide and Mission Trails Regional Park volunteer Trail Guide.

This new 2nd edition features 50 easy-to-find, easy-to-follow day hikes from one to eight miles in length, overview maps for five urban regions and 50 trail maps, at-a-glance hike descriptions and complete route details, and GPS coordinates for each trailhead.
