Looking for a good weekend trip in the bay area (CA)

Point Reyes
Henry Coe
Mt. Diablo
+ a dozen more

Thanks for the quick reply, mate. I'll start researching those areas

Ken is correct about Point Reyes. The area is quite beautiful but you can only camp at designated sites. I would also look at Big Basin St. Park or maybe Skyline To The Sea trail. Portola St. Park in San Mateo County has a few options. Ohlone Wilderness in Alameda County is another option. If you travel just south of Monterey there is the Ventana Wilderness where there are multiple places to go.

This is why I love this community, so helpful!

Thank you so much!

Henry Coe can be hot and dry. Some good hills and elevation change that will keep you in shape over the winter months.

Lost Coast, a bit further north, is a bit of a drive (maybe 5 hours from SF? probably not worse than Ventena), but wonderful.

The Big Sur area, as mentioned, has some wonderful spots. You will leave with poison oak.
