North Rim Trail to Eagle Rock

01/04/22

We parked in the Eagle Rock parking lot (the second lot if you come in from Penitencia Road) since the first lot was full. There's a good number of spaces, picnic tables, and clear trail signs. We just went up the N Rim Trail which then splits into the Eagle Rock Trail, and went up to the top for the view of the valley. Pretty easy hike - the whole thing only took half an hour and that was with the time at the top admiring the view and climbing on the rock.

Stargaze at Lick Observatory

Hop on Road 130 heading out of San Jose and follow the winding two lane road up, up, up to to the top of Mt. Hamilton and the Lick Observatory. There are lots of deer, wild turkey, and pigs in the area. If you are lucky you will get to see a herd of deer grazing in a meadow. But be careful that you don't hit any wildlife while driving up, especially at night.The drive up to the Lick Observatory...

Mission Peak via Hidden Valley Trail

Breathtaking views of the Bay Area are your reward for making this climb to the top of Mission Peak. It’s a 3-mile trek to the top of the peak and then back down the same way. This is a moderate hike that provides a nice workout – so be prepared. Park at the Stanford Avenue entrance gate. There is enough parking for about 20 cars, but if it’s full, there’s plenty of parking available along Sta...

Catch a Sunset at Alviso Marina County Park

This tranquil 20.6 acre park is open year round from 8am to sunset. It’s the gateway to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It is filled with boardwalks, trails, and all kinds of wildlife. I went here with the sole intent of catching a pretty sunset after a long week. I got to do just that and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through this park. If you're looking for a hike,...

Explore Santa Teresa County Park

The Santa Teresa County Park loop is perfect for wildlife viewing! Be ready to see deer, coyote, hawks, turkeys, pigs and cows. The trail is rated as moderate - be cautious with mud if you are visiting the park after a rain shower. Dogs are allowed in the park, but must be kept on leash. There is very little shade on the trail, so wear sunscreen and bring a hat! Always be sure to bring extra w...

Hike to Murietta Falls

Get ready for one of the toughest, lung busting hikes in the east bay with over 6-miles and 4,000ft of climbing in one direction. When you make it to the hike, it's also important to realize that without recent rain, there many not actually be a waterfall. With that said, you're still getting in a great climb, and spending the day outdoors on one of the bay area's most challenging climbs. If yo...
