Hike 1: Alamere Falls via the Coastal Trail. AllTrails link: here.
It’s a perfect hike near Bolinas for those that are looking to take their hiking game to the next level. It’s a very ‘doable’ 14 miles and leads to an incredible 40’ tidal fall.
Hike 2: Introverted Hill via Wall Pt. Road. AllTrails link: here.
A nearly 5 miles and moderate trail in Mount Diablo (Walnut Creek area) leads to this unnamed fun hill to run up and down (where you will get a bench all to yourself at the top!). Bonus: if you are observant, this area is home to a future super secret spot reveal!
Hike 3: Seaview and Big Springs Loop. AllTrails link: here
A roughly 4.5 mile dog friendly trail in Berkeley with great views and wildflowers. Combo this with other Tilden park fun: merry-go-round and steam trains!
Hike 4: Kite Hill Wild Flower Preserve. Park: here.
There’s no AllTrails map for this one in Woodside - a hidden little park at 300 Jane Dr. There’s some false information that this wildflower preserve is private but I’ve researched and it’s public. Note: While the grass is dying out, some wildflowers are still present here.
Hike 5: Lover’s Lane. AllTrails link: here
This two mile loop in the Presidio of San Francisco hides a natural work of art: Andy Goldsworthy eucalyptus sculpture. To see it, you’ll need to pop off to the side of Lover’s lane and walk through the woods. Truly beautiful.
