From here story: “The Bay Area is one of the most beautiful places to live in the country, and there's no better way to explore its natural beauty than by hiking on its many trails across the region’s nine counties. Over the years, my family and I have waded together in coastal tide pools, climbed a hill to see the iconic South San Francisco sign up close and personal, scaled a dormant volcano, explored a Native American village, trekked behind coyotes, and — of course — taken dozens of pics of the Golden Gate Bridge.”
