On our recent camping trip to Hendy Woods State Park, my family and I wrapped up our trip by taking a short 0.6-mile walk through the small grove of the impressive old-growth redwoods called Big Hendy. This was a return visit for me, and a first for both my husband and my daughter.

This easy 0.5 mile hike from Wildcat Campground through the Little Hendy Grove at Hendy Woods State Park was a big hit with my little hiker!
We made a return trip to Cable Car Beach at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park on Monday this week after having such an amazing trip last week.
Today we explored another new-to-us beach at the Half Moon Bay State Beaches: Roosevelt Beach.
After a bit of a false start today, my daughter and I managed to have a really nice time on San Francisco Bay at Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley. Click read more to see the map, photos, and a write-up of our little adventure.
Roberts Redwood Regional Park (tucked in between Joaquin Miller Park and Reinhardt Regional Park in Oakland) is a wonderful park for families. My daughter and I explored this park together for the first time ever today on an easy hike.
I only had a short amount of time for a solo hike today, and Sunol was already at maximum capacity when I arrived at 9:45 this morning, so I decided on a whim to try hiking at Vargas Plateau. This was my first time to hike this park in the dry season, and it was so different from what I have come to expect from only ever hiking here in late winter and early spring. I learned a lot, and I have a new loop planned for the next time I come back here.
The Callippe Preserve Trail is a trail maintained by the City of Pleasanton that circles around the Callippe Preserve Golf Course. My daughter and I had an unusual hike here this morning before the heat set in. Click "read more" to see maps and photos and to read about our hike.
The weather was so gorgeous today in the Tri-Valley and the East Bay. I don't know how we've gotten so lucky this late into June to have had 4 or 5 days in a row of temperatures in the 70s when it's normally closer to 95°F. The forecast predicts that it's going to start getting hotter tomorrow, so my daughter and I made the most of this amazing weather by trying out the 2.7-mile paved nature trail around the Lafayette Reservoir. It was our first time to this park, and we had a blast.
