Urban & Bay Hikers

Welcome to Urban & Bay Hikers ....   We tend to start our hikes later (11am - 12noon), so you can get a few errands done, have a cup of tea or just sleep in...  Come explore the wonders of the entire Bay Area both Urban hiking adventures and Hikes through the incredibly beautiful Regional Parks, State Parks, and Open Spaces. The group is open to anyone who enjoys a social hiking experience, and meeting new people from all over the Bay Area. We do a variety of hikes, so there is something for everyone, ranging from 4 to 10 miles in length (2 to 5 hours) in the San Francisco Bay Area. All skill levels are welcome, but you should select the hikes that fit your level. Our hikes will be from mildly easy, with most being moderate and some difficult (Hike are identified at specific levels and posted as such). Dogs are welcome on most of our hikes where the parks/trails permit.
