Butano State Park

Butano State Park was created in 1957 to protect California's coast redwoods.
There are lots of redwoods that provide a lot of shade, which I love. It's so lush and green here!
This is not very popular state park, so it's nice to hike quietly.
This place is for people who love the peace and majesty of the redwoods.
Peaceful, quiet, and beautiful park. And also,  banana slugs everywhere.

Fremont Older Open Space Preserve

One Word: Beautiful!
I came here for a hike for the first time. The trail was beautiful .
Instead of the typical redwoods you see so often in Northern California, these trails guide you through gorgeous rolling hills. The hiking is easy going and nice, not strenuous at all. In addition to hiking, this is a great place for biking and horseback riding, and even a cute vineyard on the rolling hills.
This trail offers plenty of routes to go on, flat and hilly sections, and an amazing view of the nearby properties and city.
It's easy to get there, but the parking lot is small. Also, this is not the place you want to go to when it's extremely hot outside, as there's no shade on 90% of this trail.



wonderful view from the top of the mountain




They told me this was horseback riding lessons from Garrod Farms Riding Stables
trail ride $45 for an hour.
