Hiking with the Familia in the Oakland Hills

Posted on April 11, 2011 by

Yesterday I had a fantastic time stomping around the Redwood Regional Park in the Oakland Hills with a bunch of my cousins.  I had no idea that such a dense, beautiful redwood forest was so close to downtown Oakland!

Afterwards, we celebrated with burgers and fries at the awesome burger joint Barneys. My current favorite burger there is the "Baja" — avocado, jack cheese, bacon and fresh salsa. Their curly fries are amazing, and I love their Turkish coffee milkshake. 

We barely scratched the surface of the redwood forest during our two hour hike.  I'm looking forward to more hiking adventures in the Bay Area!
