One of the great views of the Bay area is Grizzly Peak…read more I came to visit and my friends took me here to get a view of the Bay area as a whole and it was so amazing. The winding roads that led to the peak were definitely something this Florida gal was not ready for but it was worth the drive! Not too long but definitely a bit winding path upwards. The view is free and you can see all parts of the Bay here, especially if it's a clear day. It seems like a lot of locals (especially kids) come here to hangout. A nice spot to detour and take people from out of town to hang.

The view here is beautiful, both day and night. I stopped by on a whim, and it was really relaxing…read moreto just take in the scenery and think. There are plenty of spots where you can pull over, park, and walk to areas with some seating, making it a great place to unwind.

I stumbled up on this open space area on a drive of Skyline Drive. I had no idea Oakland was so…read morevast and had so much open space! The preserve is 928 acres with lots of trails to explore. The main one is Round Top, Volcanic, and Skyline loop which is a little over 3 miles, and there is a trail connecting to the nearby Huckleberry Botanical Regional Preserve for a longer hike. I noticed a lot of purple and yellow thistles. I liked this preserve because there were many views and you could see far out all the way to Mt. Diablo and beyond. It used to be a former volcano million of years ago and has lots of different rock formations which someone into geology would appreciate as well as a couple of labyrinths.

This might be one of my new favorite hikes in Oakland! I love the volcanic cliffs and seeing the…read morebeautiful green rolling hills. The trianl takes you through many different terrain so it never feels boring. I also enjoyed discovering interesting sites like the labyrinth and creepy sheds. They have a medium sized parking lot, but you can also park on the side of the road if needed. Bathrooms are available.

My tennis partner and I took a hiatus from our regular weekend tennis game because of tennis elbow…read more In lieu of tennis, we came here to hike. We're not really hikers but we enjoy it. Claremont Canyon gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It gets steep fast, so if your goal is get your heart racing and take in gorgeous views this hike is an excellent choice. The signs about rattlesnakes on the trail are not just for show: we came really close to one over the summer! Keep your eyes open y'all! My tennis partner's elbow has mostly healed now but we're still hiking Claremont Canyon most weekends, in addition to our time on the court.

Dang, even a very pregnant lady was hiking up Panoramic Hill.....my privilege to complain about the…read morestrenuosity of the hike is now void lol. This is a review for the Stonewall Panoramic Trail. Took me a little over an hour to complete (out & back) and that's me taking a looooot of let-me-catch-my-breath breaks lol. Gotta work for the overlooking East Bay view by enduring steep inclines. With that being said, I don't recommend this trail for beginner hikers because although the trail is pretty clear (and if you somehow get lost there is phone signal throughout the whole trail) the trail is verrrrry dusty and when heading back down you could easily slip/sprain an ankle if you're not careful enough. Parking: free 2-hour street parking along Stonewall Rd. Not a plentiful amount of spots so it's best to go as early as you can in the day.

I would definitely recommend this tour if you would like a well guided experienced that goes at your own pace. You do not have to go on any part you dont want to, also, which is nice. This tour has definitely made me more interested into offroad vehicles, thanks to this amazing experience and tour guide.

Amazing Park on the edge of the Oakland / Berkeley hills. I guess you could call this an urban…read morepark, although after a short walk on the trail, you feel like your deep in the forest. This is another one of the hidden gems in the San Francisco Bay region. Probably not worth a special drive for a hike here, because it's relatively short. But I recommend a little exploratory walk from the Claremont.

I know some people say that people here are soft because they complain about the elevation. It is…read moreno joke! A friend and I met up for a walk and we decided to meet at Garber Park. Based on the reviews here, we designated a meeting spot (Evergreen Lane) which is crucial since there are multiple entrances to the "park". Also, it's not much of a "park" - it's a few different fairly vertical trails. That would be okay if that's what we were looking for....but we were looking more for a casual amble. It's also tough to chat because the trials are narrow and you typically have to walk single file. That being said, it's a nice, vigorous hike that's fairly accessible and easy to get to.
