From Morgan Hill to Walnut Creek and Oakland, here are some wonderful winter hikes to explore.
There are few things more exciting to me than a waterfall hike in the rainy season, when creeks are spilling over in their full, splashy glory. Time it right, and the reward is so deeply fulfilling: You can see the power and serenity of water rushing over rocks, spot the tallest falls and deepest pools, and smell the earth-damp scent of the forest, glistening with newly-fallen raindrops.
Begin on the York Trail off Mountain Boulevard, hiking into a shady ravine with evergreen redwoods and blackberry shrubs. Small waterfalls cascade down Horseshoe Creek as you cross pedestrian bridges and scramble along the narrow, rocky trail. After 0.7 mile, merge left onto a dirt road and follow it to the summit. The rolling, fieldlike area overlooks a western vista of Mount Tamalpais, San Francisco, San Leandro Bay, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. When ready, retrace your steps to the trailhead, enjoying the cascades and ravine once more.Leona Heights Park is open daily from dawn to dusk at 4444 Mountain Blvd. in Oakland. Free street parking is available on Mountain Boulevard, just south of Leona Lodge. Leashed dogs are allowed.
