Bay Area Hiking, and other locations too!
 
The list below is an ongoing summary of my hiking adventures, such as they are.  So far they are all day-hikes.  I do not have the equipment yet to do backpacking, intentionally spending the night out at choice spots on the trail but someday I may do that too.  In the meantime, this list will grow with my hiking adventures and I hope the information I have included will be useful to anyone planning to do these or any other hikes.
