If there’s any silver lining during this pandemic it is that it forces us to discover new things to do. Before the pandemic I probably went hiking about 3 times in my lifetime but during the past several months, we have gone about 4 times including one time with some Minnesota friends who also live in the Bay Area.

What I didn’t expect was that I would like it so much and that our kids would find the experience enjoyable as well. I think this is another aspect that makes the Bay Area very attractive – there are many hiking trails to discover where each one has their own personality, character.

Our hike yesterday was perhaps our best trail yet as it gave us a unexpected view of the city we call home, Fremont. The trail is called Ohlone Regional Wilderness Trail that was just a few minutes from our home. It is a steep hill to climb so perfect if you’re looking for a good workout.

I think we’ll be back there again soon. Thanks Fremont, you surprised us yesterday with your stunning view.
