Berkeley Hills Hikes

Beyond its cultural treasures, Berkeley has some of the best hiking in the Bay Area amid the hills that sweep upward from the east side of the city. The Berkeley Fire Trails are a challenging 7-mile (11-kilometer) network, while Grizzly Peak offers car access to a panoramic viewpoint for those who aren't up for a steep climb. Tilden Regional Park is a family favorite thanks to kid-friendly extras like a miniature railroad, learning farm, and vintage carousel.
