As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

Haviland asked President Herbert Hoover\u003c/a> in 1929.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Didn't happen. But while we're on the subject, ever wonder why we carve our gobblers on the fourth Thursday of November? Hint: It's not because Thanksgiving Thursday is more alliterative than Thanksgiving Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1789, President George Washington declared Thursday, Nov. 26, as a \"Day of Publick Thanksgivin,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.archives.gov/legislative/features/thanksgiving/\">according to the National Archives\u003c/a>. But in the years following, the date for the holiday was announced by presidential proclamation and was celebrated on various days and in different months. When President Abraham Lincoln made his Thanksgiving proclamation in 1863, the last Thursday of November became standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came the big date dispute of 1939, when \u003cem>two \u003c/em>Thanksgiving holidays were observed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/\">Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum\u003c/a>, a five-Thursday November fell in 1933, and some retailers asked President Roosevelt to move the holiday to a week earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president denied the request, and Americans ate their turkey on the last Thursday as always in 1933.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roosevelt was president for a long time, long enough for another five-Thursday November to roll around in 1939. Once again, some business leaders asked if the date for the holiday could be a week earlier to give people more time to shop for Christmas, and this time Roosevelt agreed to do it. This raised \u003ca href=\"http://docs.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/images/benetlg.jpg\">a hue and cry\u003c/a> as many people felt that he was catering to large retailers so they could make more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixteen governors decided their states would have Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of the month as usual, and that's how some people ended up celebrating it a week earlier or later than others — for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roosevelt stuck with the second-to-last-Thursday schedule, some states stuck with the last-Thursday-of-the-month schedule and finally on Dec. 26, 1941, Congress passed a law making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday of November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now you have a story to tell over Thanksgiving dinner.

The race was too close to call on election night. But after four days of counting ballots, Suzy Loftus, who was appointed as interim district attorney by Mayor London Breed just weeks before the election, conceded to Boudin. Bernie Sanders congratulated Boudin on his victory, illustrating the national attention the race garnered and signifying that criminal justice reforms appear to be resonating with voters after decades of prison overcrowding and tough-on-crime initiatives.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chesa Boudin, San Francisco district attorney-elect\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Diplomats and Dueling Narratives: Televised Impeachment Hearings Begin\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, House Democrats kicked off two days of public hearings in their impeachment investigation of President Trump. On Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified on Capitol Hill. She described the personal toll of being the target of a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that led to her removal and that she felt threatened by the president. During her testimony, Trump tweeted disparaging remarks about her and defended her dismissal. On Wednesday, two other career diplomats, George Kent and William Taylor Jr., also appeared before the committee, describing a shadow diplomatic effort led by Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals. GOP lawmakers accused them of political bias and dismissed their accounts as hearsay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ron Elving, senior editor and White House correspondent, NPR\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thanksgiving\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In less than two weeks, millions of friends and family will gather at dinner tables across America for Thanksgiving. Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ellen Fort, food editor, Sunset Magazine\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gil Payumo, co-owner and chef, Se\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ñor\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sisig \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The race was too close to call on election night. But after four days of counting ballots, Suzy Loftus, who was appointed as interim district attorney by Mayor London Breed just weeks before the election, conceded to Boudin. Bernie Sanders congratulated Boudin on his victory, illustrating the national attention the race garnered and signifying that criminal justice reforms appear to be resonating with voters after decades of prison overcrowding and tough-on-crime initiatives.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chesa Boudin, San Francisco district attorney-elect\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Diplomats and Dueling Narratives: Televised Impeachment Hearings Begin\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, House Democrats kicked off two days of public hearings in their impeachment investigation of President Trump. On Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified on Capitol Hill. She described the personal toll of being the target of a smear campaign led by Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that led to her removal and that she felt threatened by the president. During her testimony, Trump tweeted disparaging remarks about her and defended her dismissal. On Wednesday, two other career diplomats, George Kent and William Taylor Jr., also appeared before the committee, describing a shadow diplomatic effort led by Giuliani to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals. GOP lawmakers accused them of political bias and dismissed their accounts as hearsay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ron Elving, senior editor and White House correspondent, NPR\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thanksgiving\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In less than two weeks, millions of friends and family will gather at dinner tables across America for Thanksgiving. Forty-six million turkeys will be gobbled up on the big day, according to the National Turkey Federation, a trade group representing turkey farmers and processors. But this year, sides may steal the Instagram spotlight from this finicky bird that takes hours or even days, depending on whether a brine is used, to cook expertly. And in a state as big and diverse as California, some immigrant communities are finding ways to fuse this fall feast with the flavors and traditions from their homelands. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At St. Anthony’s dining room in San Francisco, chef Pepe Sanchez says they’re serving 100 guests every 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks that are coming to our pantries and are using our services have a lot of challenges,” said Ash. “And we’re hoping that having a good holiday meal, being with the people they care about, gives them a chance to reflect and gain strength and move forward and make their lives better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue this time of year is twofold: School’s out and there are more demands on limited funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/110356/where-homeless-people-can-get-free-meals-in-the-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Homeless People Can Get Free Meals in the Bay Area\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We do see a spike in our call volume [on the emergency food help line],” said Mike Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank. That’s because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. “Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they’re preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you’re donating food, they’re specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and “culturally appropriate foods,” he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations. However, a number of popular volunteer spots fill well in advance of Thanksgiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11707668\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11707668\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-160x103.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1020x655.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1200x770.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A food pantry with staples such as tuna, bread and canned beans available to guests at St. Anthony’s.

That’s because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. “Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they’re preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you’re donating food, they’re specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and “culturally appropriate foods,” he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations. However, a number of popular volunteer spots fill well in advance of Thanksgiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11707668\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11707668\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-160x103.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1020x655.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1200x770.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A food pantry with staples such as tuna, bread and canned beans available to guests at St. Anthony’s.

(It also, however, coincided with the president's trip to Asia, where he was uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issues, though, almost three-quarters of Americans said they disapprove of how Republicans have handled health care legislation. Some 60 percent want the Affordable Care Act changed to do more (41 percent) or want to let it stand (19 percent), while just 35 percent want it repealed completely (28 percent) or to do less (7 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How Republicans are performing on the tax overhaul isn't much better in the public's eyes, either. Fifty-seven percent said they don't like how the GOP has handled the possible overhaul, with only 31 percent approving. Additionally, one of Republicans' most-used arguments isn't resonating widely either — when asked if they'd be in favor of receiving a tax cut if it meant increasing the national deficit, two-thirds of Americans said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About 1 in 3 women says she has been subject to office sexual harassment \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found that just over one-third of women said they have been sexually harassed in their workplace.

Not surprisingly, it's Democrats who are less likely to want to engage with people who have different views of the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of Democrats said it's stressful and frustrating to do so, while a majority of Republicans said it was \"interesting and informative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A slight plurality — 47 percent — of independents also thought engaging with differing viewpoints was positive, while 44 percent found it to be a negative thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Political civility drops nationally, but not as much locally \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of civility that many anticipate will put a damper on their holiday season is emblematic of the broader political discourse across the country. Sixty-seven percent of adults said the tone and level of civility in Washington have gotten worse since Trump was elected a year ago. (Just 23 percent said it has stayed the same, with only 6 percent saying it has improved.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, again, think the tone in D.C. has gotten worse by a higher margin — 79 percent think so with just 13 percent saying it has stayed the same and 5 percent saying it has improved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty percent of Republicans agree the level of civility has dropped, while 31 percent said it has stayed the same, and 7 percent say it has gotten better. Just over two-thirds of independents said it has gotten worse, about a quarter said it has stayed the same and 7 percent said it has gotten worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans are more optimistic about the level of discourse in their communities, however. Just over half of those surveyed said the tone and civility had stayed the same locally since Trump was elected, while 32 percent said it had gotten worse. Only 12 percent said it had gotten better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once again, it is Democrats taking the most dour view — 47 percent said things have stayed the same; 46 percent said they think it has gotten worse; and only 4 percent said the tone of discourse in their own communities has gotten better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare that with 58 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of independents, who thought things locally have gotten better. Twenty-seven percent of GOP voters said the discourse in their community has improved, while just 9 percent of independents thought so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, 30 percent of independents said things have gotten worse locally, and only 12 percent of Republicans thought so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, half of Americans still said they think the political discourse in the country is negative, while 36 percent classified it as angry.

Just 29 percent thought the party had stayed within acceptable bounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers are almost identical for the GOP — with 67 percent saying Republicans crossed a line in attacking Democrats, and just 27 percent said it has been within acceptable boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump underwater as public disapproves of how Republicans handle health care, tax overhaul\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's approval rating remains stagnant and steady at 39 percent. A majority (55 percent) continue to disapprove of the job the president is doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marist's past 11 surveys testing the president's approval, he hasn't risen above 39 percent, where it has been five times, and hasn't dipped below 35 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's not the typical pattern of a honeymoon,\" Miringoff said. \"This is just steady. It's his base that approves, and that's it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those numbers could bode well for Democratic hopes in the 2018 midterms, but this poll also shows their advantage on who Americans would rather control Congress narrowing to just 3 points, 43 percent to 40 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>That's a 12-point shift from just a week earlier, when Marist showed Democrats with a 15-point advantage. It is also a deviation from other recent polls that have given Democrats the wider gap they have needed historically to take back control of the House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miringoff explained that the shift isn't due to Republicans picking up voters, but to independents going from Democrats to undecided — for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That 15-point edge also came following the big Democratic gains in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere, which might have colored respondents' preferences. (It also, however, coincided with the president's trip to Asia, where he was uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issues, though, almost three-quarters of Americans said they disapprove of how Republicans have handled health care legislation. Some 60 percent want the Affordable Care Act changed to do more (41 percent) or want to let it stand (19 percent), while just 35 percent want it repealed completely (28 percent) or to do less (7 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How Republicans are performing on the tax overhaul isn't much better in the public's eyes, either. Fifty-seven percent said they don't like how the GOP has handled the possible overhaul, with only 31 percent approving. Additionally, one of Republicans' most-used arguments isn't resonating widely either — when asked if they'd be in favor of receiving a tax cut if it meant increasing the national deficit, two-thirds of Americans said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About 1 in 3 women says she has been subject to office sexual harassment \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll also found that just over one-third of women said they have been sexually harassed in their workplace.

Last year, outdoor retailer REI launched a movement to get people to #optoutside, shuttering its stores on what is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year to push people to go, well, outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the California State Parks and two environmental groups are continuing that idea in spirit, offering free admission to dozens of state parks. Here's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/11/21/black-friday-special-free-entrance-to-116-california-state-parks/\">how\u003c/a> you can snag one of the free passes they're handing out (the number is limited to 13,000 statewide).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give you some inspiration, here are nine favorite state park hikes from KQED staff members -- including yours truly. The walks range from moderate to hard in difficulty, and all should give you some great exercise and scenery as well as a break from the shopping crowd.

Bring layers -- you can go above the clouds, in this case, fog -- and end up in sunny skies. Also you should have a hat, too, in case it's sunny.

The park is massive, and I’ve never seen it crowded — partly because most hikes in this park feature some strenuous climbs, such as the Grizzly Gulch Trail to Coit Lake for a 12- to 13-mile round-trip trek (you can also make the hike shorter by checking out some of the other trails off of Grizzly Gulch). Coit Lake is my favorite spot for camping or a picnic (and in summer months, a skinny dip!).

Angel Island was home to an Army camp in the mid-1800s and to an immigration station from 1910 to 1940. Some of the buildings from each era remains, and you can, and should, visit them as part of a hike on the island. The hike up to Mount Livermore is energetic but manageable (the round trip is 6 miles). The reward is the incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge from a unique vantage point in the bay. Other hikes around the island are less taxing and friendly family. Definitely a fun day outing.

It's a 7-mile hike that starts near the bottom of Mount Tam in Mill Valley and ends at Stinson Beach. The first 2 miles are a grueling uphill slog but you're rewarded with beautiful views of the Marin Headlands, old-growth redwoods and the Pacific Ocean. You can take a bus back to town from the beach -- or if you're in for an all-day affair, you can hike back!

When I went in early fall, the sunlight coming through the trees gave the forest a brilliant glow. There's a lot of history in this forest -- from its logging days (there are some historical structures you can see, marked on the park map) to its being the epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake (you can detour from the trail to visit the spot). I'd read that you could see seashells -- yes, seashells -- from when the area was part of an inland sea, and thrillingly I came across many. This can be from 7 to 9 miles if you take detours. Do be careful to keep an eye on the trail. I wandered off the path to take in the seashells and it took me a while to find a way back onto it from the creek. Mostly shaded.

Last year, outdoor retailer REI launched a movement to get people to #optoutside, shuttering its stores on what is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year to push people to go, well, outdoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the California State Parks and two environmental groups are continuing that idea in spirit, offering free admission to dozens of state parks. Here's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/11/21/black-friday-special-free-entrance-to-116-california-state-parks/\">how\u003c/a> you can snag one of the free passes they're handing out (the number is limited to 13,000 statewide).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give you some inspiration, here are nine favorite state park hikes from KQED staff members -- including yours truly. The walks range from moderate to hard in difficulty, and all should give you some great exercise and scenery as well as a break from the shopping crowd. Note: Dogs \u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21305\">are permitted\u003c/a> in most state parks but must be on a leash (more details; a good idea to call ahead and check).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hard\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is challenging. But the 360-degree views from the summit -- from Mount Diablo to the Golden Gate Bridge to Half Moon Bay -- are worth it. Add on a trail (that crosses \"The Saddle'\"marked on the map) more used by cyclists that goes over the top of Devil's Slide -- you won't regret it. About 10.5 miles. Bring layers -- you can go above the clouds, in this case, fog -- and end up in sunny skies. Also you should have a hat, too, in case it's sunny.

The park is massive, and I’ve never seen it crowded — partly because most hikes in this park feature some strenuous climbs, such as the Grizzly Gulch Trail to Coit Lake for a 12- to 13-mile round-trip trek (you can also make the hike shorter by checking out some of the other trails off of Grizzly Gulch).

Angel Island was home to an Army camp in the mid-1800s and to an immigration station from 1910 to 1940. Some of the buildings from each era remains, and you can, and should, visit them as part of a hike on the island. The hike up to Mount Livermore is energetic but manageable (the round trip is 6 miles). The reward is the incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge from a unique vantage point in the bay. Other hikes around the island are less taxing and friendly family. Definitely a fun day outing.

It's a 7-mile hike that starts near the bottom of Mount Tam in Mill Valley and ends at Stinson Beach. The first 2 miles are a grueling uphill slog but you're rewarded with beautiful views of the Marin Headlands, old-growth redwoods and the Pacific Ocean. You can take a bus back to town from the beach -- or if you're in for an all-day affair, you can hike back!

When I went in early fall, the sunlight coming through the trees gave the forest a brilliant glow. There's a lot of history in this forest -- from its logging days (there are some historical structures you can see, marked on the park map) to its being the epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake (you can detour from the trail to visit the spot). I'd read that you could see seashells -- yes, seashells -- from when the area was part of an inland sea, and thrillingly I came across many. This can be from 7 to 9 miles if you take detours. Do be careful to keep an eye on the trail. I wandered off the path to take in the seashells and it took me a while to find a way back onto it from the creek. Mostly shaded.
