Oakland - Hiking

Waterfalls and banana slugs, canyons and redwoods - Oakland is rich and wild, wet and green with rain. The hikes you'll find here are hikes you'll want to bring a camera on, because there's more than just scenic beauty - it's sometimes scenic beauty with a touch of the unusual.



Alum Rock Park - South Rim Intermediate
4 miles 2 hours
Walk under beautiful shade trees, and by not only Alum Rock, but a mineral spring spa.

Baltimore Canyon Intermediate
5 miles 2.5 hours
Watch for waterfalls as you explore this fern-thick canyon.

Berry Creek Falls Intermediate
Difficult
12 miles 6.5 hours
Redwoods, four waterfalls, banana slugs - yes, banana slugs. You'll find these on this tough, but extremely gorgeous and extremely unique hike through California's first state park.

Black Diamond Mines Hike Intermediate
5.2 miles 2.5 hours
This hike runs through a historical preserve. See coal mines, an old cemetery and amazing San Francisco Bay vistas.

Blue Rock Springs Park Intermediate

These grasslands roll into hills, hills broken up by sudden crags of rock. Watch for peacocks!

Cataract Falls - Mt. Tamalpais Intermediate

This is a walk to take after a substantial rain - the seven waterfalls will be phenomenal.
