**Hello Nature Lovers,** Let's meet new friends and go on a [Green Exercise ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_exercise)wellness hike, enjoy the nature and the beauty of one of the best bird watching areas on the west coast for our physical health and mental well-being😇

[Baylands Nature Preserve](https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/Departments/Community-Services/Open-Space-Parks/Neighborhood-Parks/Baylands-Nature-Preserve)
Bounded by Mountain View and East Palo Alto, the 1,940-acre Baylands Preserve is one of the largest tracts of undisturbed marshland remaining in the San Francisco Bay. Fifteen miles of multi-use trails provide access to a unique mixture of tidal and fresh water habitats.

Many consider this area to be one of the best bird watching areas on the west coast. The preserve has a substantial resident population of birds as well as being a major migratory stopover on the Pacific Flyway.

Enjoy this 6 miles trail near Palo Alto, California. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 2 Hours to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, fishing, and road biking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.
