King's Canyon Loop Trail Highlight Reel

This wonderful loop trail, about 6.5 miles, is a great hike or run, especially if you are trying to prepare for a trail 10k.  You'll see groves of Oaks, nice views of the Upper San Leandro Reservoir, numerous birds, including water birds, and possibly deer, wild turkey, rabbits, horses and probably a few cows.  In the wetter months, I've even come across some California Newts.   Enjoy...

Old San Pablo Trail - Highlight Reel Part 1

Old San Pablo Trail is part of the East Bay Mud North Watershed (map here), and is a beautiful, mostly canopied trail.   You'll need a permit for this trail, which you can get here.   This is an "out and back" route, perfect for a run or peaceful hike.

Purisima Creek Highlight Reel

This is a road trip hike.  The Purisima Creek Trail is on the western slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Halfmoon Bay.  This Highlight Reel captures the Purisima Creek Trail portion of my hike, which continued on to the Craig Britton Trail and the Harkins Ridge Trail.
