The Bay Area’s abundance of outdoors activities is no secret, and now that spring and springtime rains are here, there’s no better time to get outside, especially if you don’t mind a little mud on your shoes.
Uvas Canyon County Park, a formerly obscure South Bay hiking retreat, is now so popular for its Instagram-friendly waterfalls that it now requires reservations on weekends. The winter rains have revitalized the Bay Area’s rivers, and turned native waterfalls into spectacular cascades.
Waterfall season proved dry in most recent years, due to the drought, but this winter helped replenish the landscape.
Here are a few picturesque destinations for hikers outside of Uvas Canyon (busy as it’s bound to be again this weekend), from the humble to the mighty, from the famous to the obscure, from Golden Gate Park to the beaches of Point Reyes.
While you’re at it, there are also links to other great Bay Area hiking adventures that don’t involve water.
