BEST Hiking in the East Bay! And, it is accessible by public transportation! Take the AC Transit bus #49 or #51B to downtown Berkeley; then transfer to the #67 bus. Numerous and wonderful hiking trails -- along streams, in the forest, up hills, and along the ridge with gorgeous Bay views. Families with small children will love the Little Farm.
