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."

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

A lot of ticks in that area.
I was going to say, I didn’t know a trail up to there. Farther down, there is Joseph D. Grant County Park.
Which area?

How about the homeless/needle/feces trail?

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.
Nope, nope, nope. Not going to california. Period.
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.
Are Birkenstocks syringe proof?
Asking for a friend......
And how many used hypodermic needles and used condoms?
Otherwise, have fun.
Conservatives' best hike is due east. Although Oakland is rough, freedom is only a few hundred miles east.
Not to mention a black bear, wolf, mountain lion, poisonous snakes and Lyme ticks.
