Bay Area Hiker

One of the best things about the Bay Area is the near perfect dichotomy of cosmopolitan life and natural beauty. San Francisco itself has gorgeous beaches, a beautiful park and breathtaking redwoods just a bridge away. In fact, the Bay Area has some of the best hiking in California and plenty of trails to keep a nature lover busy. The biggest problem is where to start! Bay Area Hiker is a comprehensive website that covers East Bay, North Bay, Peninsula & South Bay. Hikes featured range from 2 to 15 miles and include photos and ratings from moderate to difficult, all determined by creator and hiking enthusiast Jane Huber. The "Before You Go" section offers helpful tips about first aid and what to carry with you and the favorites section narrows your choices down. Whether you're a Bay Area resident or a frequent visitor, this website's definitely one to bookmark.
