The San Francisco Bay Trail

By Rachel Puryear

The San Francisco Bay Area is known for its natural beauty, diversity, innovation, opportunity, progressive ideals, and so much more. The San Francisco Bay Trail is a large network of trails all over the Bay Area, which allows enjoyment of all there is here to offer, and with beautiful views.

The Bay Area spans nine counties, and nearly 7,000 square miles. That’s a lot of space for trails! This trail network traverses the whole region, circles the Bay, and connects all nine counties; so wherever you are in it, you can probably pick up part of the trail nearby. It’s a great way to explore this unique and awesome place that’s home to close to eight million people.
