    The Purisima Creek Redwood Preserve includes 24 miles of developed trails and historical logging roads, which provide opportunities for easy walks or long, strenuous hikes.

    Another favorite local hiking trail! It's a reverse trail where you need more energy to hike back up once you reach the bottom. A great workout! Make sure to finish early before sundown!

    It is a breathtaking hike... On the way back to north ridge parking lot - the 0.3 mile route is really steep (specially if you are carrying a baby ;))

    Visit the mighty California Redwoods. The 3-mile Monte Bello loop takes you through diverse ecosystems -keep your eye out for wildlife roaming the land.

    Starting on Skyline and descending into the canyon is among the prettiest hikes on the Peninsula
