Bay Area Hiking, Walking, Wellness Club

Hello Ocean Lover, Let's meet go on a Green exercise wellness hike, enjoy the natural beauty of the Healing Sea, Beautiful Ocean views for our physical health and mental Well-being 😇

Sometimes all you need is an easy stroll by the ocean to refresh your spirits. This track along the Pacific Ocean north of Santa Cruz is one of the best places in California to do just that.

You'll see gulls, geese, pelicans, and other waterfowl and you might hear the distant bark of passing sea lions. If your timing's right, you might even spot passing whales on their annual migrations.

Wilder Ranch State Park is a CA State Park on the Pacific Ocean coast north of Santa Cruz. The park was formerly a dairy ranch, and many of the ranch buildings have been restored for use as a museum.

Another bonus: touring the grounds of a farm replete with antique cars, farm machinery, and other remnants of farming life along the Pacific in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This track is very basic: just start out from the parking lot at the Wilder Ranch State Park visitors center and follow Old Cove Landing Trail along the ocean. Eventually, it turns northward again and loops back to where you started.

The trail surface is a natural surface (dirt, sand, rocks). It is typically at least 8 feet wide. There are railroad crossings ...

The whole trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle (5% or less) grade category. All-terrain tires or motorized equipment may be needed for the surface type and grade.

Meet: 1:30pm at parking lot trailhead near the restrooms
*Hike time: 2:00 pm

The Sunol Regional Wilderness is a regional park in Alameda County, the eastern San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California. It is located near the town of Sunol, south of Pleasanton and east of Fremont.
The 27.74 square kilometres (6,850 acres) park was established in 1962, and is administered by the East Bay Regional Park District.

Bedrock mortars used by Native Americans for pounding acorns that were found in the area are reminders of Sunol's first inhabitants. For the past century, however, the land known today as Sunol Wilderness Regional Preserve was used almost exclusively as ranch land. Under the East Bay Regional Park District's multi-use land management policy, cattle continue to graze in the 6,859-acre wilderness. Today, camping, picnicking, hiking and back-packing attract thousands of park visitors a year.

Little Yosemite in Sunol is a scenic hike offering breathtaking oak lined canyon views and dramatic waterfalls.

The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime.

Pinnacles National Park is an American national park protecting a mountainous area located in CA... about five miles east of Soledad and 80 miles southeast of San Jose

Born of Fire: Some 23 million years ago multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed, and slid to form what would become Pinnacles National Park. What remains is a unique landscape. Hikers enter rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor.

Before You Hit the Trail with Us – Please Read:
1. Feeling Sick? Skip This One:
If you’re under the weather with cold or flu symptoms—or if your immune system needs a break—please sit this hike out. We’ll catch you on the next one when you're feeling 100%.
2. Legal Stuff (aka the Fine Print):
By signing up, you're saying “I’ve got this!” and agreeing not to hold the host, organizer, or fellow hikers responsible for any boo-boos, blisters, or surprises from Mother Nature. You’re fully in charge of your own health and safety out there.
3. Just So We're Clear:
This hike is a DIY adventure. We’re here for the fun, but not liable for any injuries, lost sunglasses, or unexpected squirrel encounters. Hike smart, stay safe, and bring your best judgment.
4. Trails Are Wild – Literally:
Participation in this event is strictly voluntary. The event host/organizer assumes no responsibility for any injury, damage, or loss you may incur. You join and hike entirely at your own risk.
*Hike at YOUR OWN RISK. Open trails aren't necessarily free of hazards--by entering the wilderness, you assume responsibility for your safety and must use good judgment.
Nature doesn’t come with warning signs. So please be prepared, stay alert, and hike at your own risk. That’s part of the adventure!
5. RSVP = Really Serious Very Practical:
For group safety, everyone must answer the RSVP question honestly. If you can’t confirm you’re in good health and able to do 7-8 miles without any issues, we CANNOT approve you for this hike. Gotta keep the crew strong and safe!

*We are an intermediate hike group. Please be ready to keep up hiking with us from 7-8 miles without any health issues.

Thanks for keeping our hikes fun, safe, and full of good vibes!
See you on the trail—with water, snacks, and a smile for miles!
*Please don't just walk in. Thank you for your cooperation!

I'm looking forward to meeting, hiking with you and making good memories together.
Yours in good health! Dr. Heidi💝
