Fire Trails

Sat on a stump at sunset and realigned every chakra. 10/10 would go again. Drive up not for the faint of heart.

Well, it's an easily accessible trail, i went to this trail by walking from UC Berkeley. A mistake though, like I already used all my energy to walk from the UC Berkeley to the start of this trail lol. It was a nice hike, but compare to other hiking trails I've ever tried, it doesn't really have beautiful view compare to others. I visited here on autumn, i remember several days before that was raining, so some parts of hiking trails were slippery. I slipped several times since I didn't use proper shoes (I used sneakers, but not a specific type of shoes for hiking)

Easily accessible trails. Quite some elevation gain to get there but completely worth it. Beautiful view of the bay area. Perfect for a relaxing walk or run. Dogs allowed.

A really nice trail for enjoying the view of Berkeley and Oakland, the smell of the ocean, and the rustic vibes of the forest. It was a very enjoyable walk downhill to Berkeley everyday. Definitely better than the usual pitch road downhill, even if it takes around 1.5 hours at a normal pace. The other trail that took around 45 minutes downhill was closed this summer, so we took this route instead!

A classic East Bay hiking area. The fire trail itself is just challenging enough to tire out an active five year old boy taking a nice slow walk with his friend. We didn't hike the whole trail but we walked up the steep part and had a picnic at the top. Along the fire trail are plenty of side paths and challenging shortcuts for those who like to take the road less traveled. It's also possible to cheat and drive up to the top I suppose.
