​Hello Nature Lovers, let's meet up for a Green Exercise and go on a Wellness Hike, enjoy the nature and the beauty of the healing mountains and green trees forests for our physical health and mental well-being 😇

The town of Portola Valley is a runner's and hiker's paradise, with as many miles of trails as there are paved roads. The trails are interwoven throughout the town, connecting to residential streets. The highlight of the Portola Valley trail system is Coal Mine Ridge. This 400-acre wooded ridge, located between Alpine Road and Los Trancos Road, contains about ten miles of trails.

The name "Coal Mine Ridge" comes from a low-grade coal mine that was opened on the ridge in 1855.

*Requested contribution suggested amount $5-$20 to keep the club going!

Hello Ocean Lovers, Let's meet up go for a Green Exercise Wellness Hike at Golden Gate Bridge, Hanging out at beach, enjoy Ocean air, Viewing🛬Blue Angels Airshow and Healing Sea for our physical Health and Mental well-being😇

The Golden Gate Bridge: Presidio to Marin Headlands
It is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

It is special for its iconic engineering and design, including its record-setting length when built, its distinctive International Orange color, Art Deco styling, and prominent foghorns. It is also a global symbol of American ingenuity, a vital transportation link for San Francisco and the Bay Area, and a beloved landmark that attracts millions of visitors annually to its spectacular setting at the entrance to San Francisco Bay.

The "Golden Gate Bridge" is named for the Golden Gate Strait, the entrance to San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. U.S. Army Captain John C. Frémont gave the strait this name in 1846, envisioning it as a "golden gate" for trade with the East, similar to the Golden Horn of Byzantium. The bridge spans this geographical feature, which was already known as the Golden Gate.

This famous bridge span, dedicated in 1937, is one of the world’s most spectacular and visited sites. A trip by foot offers visitors an excellent opportunity to understand Bay Area...

Kirby Cove Beach: Descend through a grove of cypress, eucalyptus and pine to a one-of-a-kind view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay as you look east to a panorama view of the city. The steep, mile-long trail to the cove begins at the parking area above Battery Spencer on Conzelman Road, which is eye-level with the bridge's towers.

On the way to Kirby Cove, you will find the most famous Golden Gate Bridge viewpoints, all located along Conzelman Road. Battery Spencer and Hawk Hill are two favorites.

Battery Spencer Overlook: Fort Baker 19th-century concrete battery featuring panoramic views of Golden Gate & San Francisco.
At almost 500 feet above the bay, this high cliff-top vantage point makes for great views today and was a prime location for big coastal defense guns...
Battery Spencer is called that because it was named for Major General Joseph Spencer, a Continental Army officer during the Revolutionary War, as a dedication from the United States Army upon its completion in 1897. The battery itself, located at Fort Baker in Marin County, was a reinforced concrete gun emplacement designed to protect the San Francisco harbor from naval attacks and was deactivated in 1942 during World War II
Key Points:
Purpose: Battery Spencer was built to defend the San Francisco Bay from enemy ships.
Naming Origin: It was named in honor of Major General Joseph Spencer, a Revolutionary War hero.
Construction: Construction began in 1893 and was completed in 1897 as part of the Endicott Era coastal defense plan.
Modern Use: Today, the guns have been removed, and the historic site serves as a popular viewpoint for visitors.

2025 Blue Angels show: https://fleetweeksf.org/air-show

The waterfront event is headlined by The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and is the only air show in the United States with a commercial airliner, the United 777, to perform a fully choreographed act.
