My favorite hike in the East Bay is the Sequoia Bayview Trail. The redwood, bay, oak, and manzanita trees remind me of my home in Marin. It is a flat three mile walk from the trailhead in Joaquin Miller Park to the horse arena and back. When I was younger I jogged the trail. Now I take a leisurely stroll. Whether it is for exercise or contemplation, there is no better spot to enjoy the East Bay’s natural beauty.
