Now that the summer heat has died down, the weather is perfect for a walk around the San Francisco Bay. The Bay Trail, which stretches from Brisbane to Mountain View, offers a variety of different hikes and beautiful water-front scenery. And this year, the Bay Trail is celebrating its 30th birthday.
Getting outside for a walk and enjoying the fresh air is a great way to relax and unwind. To help you figure out which trail to start with, we are sharing a list from PUNCH Magazine below. For more information about the trails, including bicycling routes, click here.
