When kids were little, we visited the Tilden Park farm, carousel, and steam train. I’ve learned recently there is a world of hiking at Tilden, too. I’ve begun to explore a little bit with a walk on the Seaview Trail. Beginning at the Quarry Trail parking lot, the hike heads up the hill to the ridge. Unless it is a foggy morning, you’ll see the San Francisco Bay to the west, and the East Bay hills, including Mount Diablo to the east. You’ll head back down the ridge on the Big Springs Trail, which returns you to the trailhead. And if you take the five mile loop in the spring, it will be dotted with poppies, forget-me-nots, and purple thistles. Quite the show.
