About us
Welcome to Bay Area Hiking, Walking, Wellness Club!
Where Healthy Living Meets Lifelong Friendships and Love!
Our club is all about embracing a healthy lifestyle, nurturing a positive mindset, and reveling in the beauty of nature. If you're someone who enjoys Green Exercise outdoor workouts, and can hike/walk 5-8 miles without health issues (do consult your personal physician), we invite you to join us.
Here's what makes us special:
*Transformative Events: Our club events bring people together, fostering new friendships and even sparking love stories. The benefits are profound, including better health, reduced stress, and the end of isolation.
*Safety First: Your well-being is our top priority. We strictly follow CDC guidelines and protocols. If you're feeling unwell, we kindly ask you to wait until you're better to join us.
For everyone's safety and convenience, we encourage carpooling among those who know each other well.
*Stunning Locations: We're fortunate living in the bay areaĀ to have shaded forests, mountain trails, and beach walks with amazing ocean sunsets nearby. Your suggestions for new areas to explore are always welcome.
*Convenient Scheduling: Enjoy our thoughtfully scheduled events, mostly in the late morning, afternoon, and evenings, to fit your personal schedule. Allowing you to get your beauty sleep, and even your morning 'errands' are merely a stylish sprint to fetch that perfect breakfast or cup of coffee.
*Inclusivity: Whether you're reuniting with old friends or looking to meet new people while exercising outdoors, you'll find a warm and welcoming community here.
**How does nature nurture the brain? **After a 60-minute walk in nature, activity in brain regions involved in stress processing decreases...
Mental health prescription: Nature
Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health. Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University. In addition to having mental health benefits, being outdoors opens up your senses to your surroundings and improves your sensory perception. Taking in the sights, smells, and feelings of nature has so many health benefits it can even be prescribed by a doctor.
Our Club events have a very positive impact on people's lives, people meet, fall in loveš meet new friends, HAPPY, better health, less stress, anxiety, depression, isolate being alone and got extra bonus for LOVE āš

Get ready for spectacular ocean views, fresh sea air, and an exclusive first look at a brand-new coastal trail stretch!
āWe are heading up to Half Moon Bay for a gorgeous, gently graded hike along the sweeping ocean bluffs.

āDistance: ~5 to 6 miles out-and-back (Flat, beautifully maintained trails)
āDifficulty: Easy to Moderate (Gently graded, perfect for keeping a steady group pace)āšļø The Game Plan: Beach Break & Optional Dinner
āThe Hike: We will hike along the scenic bluffs, and right at the halfway mark, we will head down to the beach for a relaxing break to enjoy the waves, chat, and take photos before heading back.āSocial Dinner (Optional): After we wrap up the hike, anyone who wants to join is welcome to head out for a delicious Chinese food dinner together to recap the day and socialize!
āš Scouting Win: Hassle-Free Parking!
āI found a hidden gem to completely avoid the crowded old trailheads. We will be parking in two brand-new, spacious lots that just opened up, giving us plenty of room to park together.
āExact Navigation: As soon as you turn into 699 Thone Ave, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019, look immediately to your right. You will see the two new parking lots right there on the right side of the road.

āA fantastic, positive attitude!This segment of the CA Coastal Trail runs parallel to the Pacific Coast along what used to be the Ocean Shore Railroad. The railroad itself was in operation for just 15 years before it was driven out of business in the early 1920s by the automobile.
It's truly a destination trail. It offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, access to several beaches and excellent nature viewing. Bird watching is quite good and a popular activity here. Red-tailed hawks, blue herons and red-winged blackbirds are spotted frequently, and large hawks can often be seen perched on benches and the trail's split-rail fence.
