These are our favorite Bay Area hikes you should try in 2021

Montara Mountain Trail Location: San Pedro Valley County Park, near Pacifica

"One of the best returns on uphill-hiking investment in the Bay Area has to be the Montara Mountain Trail," says SFGATE homepage editor Greg Keraghosian. "The reward for completing this 6.7-mile loop is a stunning panoramic view that includes Montara State Beach to the west, the Golden Gate Bridge to the north and the Port of Oakland to the east. There’s an odd bonus at the peak should you wander off the fire trail: abandoned, rusted cars that seem to have been enjoying their ocean views for decades."

Resolution Trail Location: El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve

Resolution Trail is "part of a commemorative loop that winds through the Kings Mountain canyon and past the crash site of an ill-fated DC-6 commercial airplane bearing the same name," writes Marek. "... The aura of a 67-year-old plane crash is gripping enough that it's very clearly more than just a 'thing,' which is maybe why I can’t stop going back."

Read about Marek's full experience here, including his step-by-step directions to arrive at your destination.

My favorite “hike” is going up to the Lick Observatory. And I take this “hike” in my Miata. :)

I was going to say, I didn’t know a trail up to there. Farther down, there is Joseph D. Grant County Park.

That would mean traveling to that Third World Sh*thole city.

No thanks.

My favorite was hiking in Briones near Lafayette. Lived within a short hike to the park entrance up to the late 80s.

“rifle range trail”. Bet that one has not seen a rifle in many a year.

Of course, anyone hiking on these trails without a mask will be accosted by the dozens of liberal mask shamers whose paths they will undoubtedly cross.

Watch out for piles of crap, needles, AIDS and drug contaminated offal, repeatedly released Illegal Alien Felons with guns mishandled by police, homicidal maniacs, excretement throwing homeless transients, and cops behind on their citation quota.

Otherwise, have fun.

Liberals' best hike is due west. Keep going when the sharks are circling.

Conservatives' best hike is due east. Although Oakland is rough, freedom is only a few hundred miles east.
