"content": "\u003cp>\u003ci>Want to explore some new Bay Area hikes for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend? Look no further, the KQED audience has a lot of spectacular trail recommendations for you. Below is a running collection that reporter Miranda Leitsinger has been building since late 2017. Did we miss a hike? \u003ca href=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed/embed/3634/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share it with us\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiking is undoubtably a Bay Area pastime. When we asked our readers to share their favorite trails a few years ago, we received a few hundred replies from every corner of the bay — Livermore to Pescadero, Muir Beach to Mountain View, San Jose to Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trails include Little Yosemite, Brushy Peak and Gray Whale Cove. Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa. Yes, we agree. And we hope some of these hikes will become new favorites for you, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>EAST BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/claremont_canyon/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stonewall/Panoramic Trail in Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, starting from Stonewall Road in Berkeley near the Claremont Resort. Super steep, but outstanding views. Continue on and it connects with the UC Berkeley Fire Trail system, and into Tilden Regional Park. You can do a nice walk to the trail from the Rockridge BART station. For a crossing of the Berkeley Hills, continue onto the EBMUD trails to the east of Grizzly Peak Road, and you can take the Delaveaga Trail down to Orinda and the Orinda BART station and then back to Rockridge. — \u003cem>Rob Gendreau\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/contra_loma\">Contra Loma Regional Park\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reservoir loop AND the surrounding steep hills trails at Contra Loma in Antioch.

I have particularly used the following easy access trail entrance from Annadel Heights Road (no fee and easy parking). The main entrance is subtle with a bit of signage and a steep start. Once over the hill and through a quick ravine, the trail splinters to a forested beautiful ravine to the left, or to the right up a beloved mountain bike path/fire road. Depends on your mood. Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time. You can start from Spring Lake (Sonoma County park) as well, which is easy walking to slight difficulty after about a mile with a brief incline.\" \u003cem>— Julianne Odell\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>PENINSULA\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=532\">McNee Ranch/Montara Mountain/Montara State Beach\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632915\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11632915\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-800x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-800x485.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-160x97.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-240x146.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-375x227.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28154_Hiking_McNeeMontara_Myers-qut-520x315.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gray Whale Cove Trail in McNee Ranch looking south to Montara. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Tracey Myers)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"McNee Ranch's Gray Whale Cove Trail has the best the Bay Area has to offer.

It offers a good workout, plus it has something that I really love when I hike, and that's rock formations.\" \u003cem>— Jeanette Marie\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.presidio.gov/trails\">\u003cstrong>The Presidio\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632660\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11632660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Park Trail in the Presidio, San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Arjun Adamson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Park Trail in the Presidio, SF (just outside the WWII cemetery) is gorgeous when you catch the light hitting the trees, easy hiking.\" \u003cem>— Arjun Adamson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>SOUTH BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are so many great choices in \u003ca class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/santaclaracountyparks/?hc_location=ufi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santa Clara County Parks:\u003c/a> I recommend Sanborn County Park for north county residents (shady, hills, easiest is John Nicholas Trail); Santa Teresa Park for central county (park in the Pueblo Day Use area and walk in any direction); and Harvey Bear-Coyote Lake for south county.

Look no further, the KQED audience has a lot of spectacular trail recommendations for you. Below is a running collection that reporter Miranda Leitsinger has been building since late 2017. Did we miss a hike? \u003ca href=\"https://modules.wearehearken.com/kqed/embed/3634/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share it with us\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiking is undoubtably a Bay Area pastime. When we asked our readers to share their favorite trails a few years ago, we received a few hundred replies from every corner of the bay — Livermore to Pescadero, Muir Beach to Mountain View, San Jose to Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trails include Little Yosemite, Brushy Peak and Gray Whale Cove. Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa. Yes, we agree. And we hope some of these hikes will become new favorites for you, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>EAST BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebparks.org/parks/claremont_canyon/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stonewall/Panoramic Trail in Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, starting from Stonewall Road in Berkeley near the Claremont Resort. Super steep, but outstanding views. Continue on and it connects with the UC Berkeley Fire Trail system, and into Tilden Regional Park. You can do a nice walk to the trail from the Rockridge BART station. For a crossing of the Berkeley Hills, continue onto the EBMUD trails to the east of Grizzly Peak Road, and you can take the Delaveaga Trail down to Orinda and the Orinda BART station and then back to Rockridge. — \u003cem>Rob Gendreau\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/contra_loma\">Contra Loma Regional Park\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reservoir loop AND the surrounding steep hills trails at Contra Loma in Antioch.

Once over the hill and through a quick ravine, the trail splinters to a forested beautiful ravine to the left, or to the right up a beloved mountain bike path/fire road. Depends on your mood. Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time.
