Winter hikes in the East Bay are becoming a yearly tradition for me. We recently hiked a new part of Mount Diablo State Park on the Pine Creek Trail near Alamo. We’ve been having lots of rain so much of Northern California has bright green grass and the trails have a lot of mud. And we went on a day, like most days in the bay area, where there was a heavy fog cover into the late morning that beautifully framed the oak trees along the trail.

Redwoods are by far my favorite tree. After hiking for so many months in the mountains and foothills, it was such a treat to finally hike among the redwoods again in Muir Woods last December. Along the path in the park the sunlight gleams through the 200-foot tall trees to highlight just how beautiful and majestic they are. And while Muir Woods is not my favorite Redwood park, there is something still so magnificent about this special place in the bay.

Filoli Historic Gardens in the springtime are simply mesmerizing. Located in Woodside, California just below San Francisco, these gardens were opened in 1917 and cover 16 acres of a 654-acre estate. I had been once in the summer before when the gardens are filled with lavender, dahlias, and sunflowers. In the springtime though, they are filled with daffodils, tulips, and flowering trees. We were there on a gorgeous sunny day in March and loved taking a stroll and seeing the many varieties of daffodils. The historic country house is just as stunning as the gardens themselves.

Hiking in Mount Diablo State Park was one of the goals for last year. So on an early foggy morning we made the drive down to the park and bundled up and hiked the Eagle Peak Trail. While the views along the trail were gorgeous, the view from the top of the peak was a bit hard to see with all the fog. But we did complete the over 2000 foot elevation gain in the seven miles and I was able to check this off my goals list. I loved seeing all the frost on the leaves lining the trail in the early morning and the bits of fog still lingering in the valley.

The air is damp with the sea and fog caught between the hills. When you descended beneath the treetops, down to the forest floor, time stopped and everything went still. The only sounds are the distant echoing of water drops falling from branches and the whispers from around you. Perhaps it is the old gods speaking, or new gods preparing to rise. You look up. You cannot see the tops of the trees, only that trunks that extend ever upward.
Today’s magical redwood forest post is a guest post from my sister/hiking partner. We recently hiked in Mount Tamalpais State Park in the San Francisco Bay Area. It had been too long since I was exploring the redwoods and I can’t wait to share more of the photos.
