A nice thing about living in the Bay Area is that there are a bunch of free programs that try to get people out and hiking. Stef and I took on the 2017 East Bay Trails Challenge this year to see some of the regional parks we have not yet visited.
The hikes we did:
- Feb 11: Kennedy Grove Regional Recreation Area (3.48 mi)
- Feb 18: Point Pinole Regional Shoreline (4.13 mi)
- Mar 11: Roberts Regional Recreation Area (1.22 mi)
- Jun 18: Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shorelines (3.84 mi)
- Jun 20: Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve (2.62 mi)
The incentive to do the award was a neat little lapel pin that features the California poppy. We saw a lot of these little orange flowers on our hikes!
