Guidebook for the Oakland Hills and Rockridge
Hiking
There is incredible hiking in the nearby East Bay Regional Parks. We can't recommend these parks enough, and they offer remarkable diversity of flora.
Beautiful hiking and running trails. Rugged, exposed trails with views of Mount Diablo, and even SF if you hike high enough!
