MOUNT TAMALPAIS Located just north of the Bay Area in Mt. Tamalpais State Park, this mountain trail is accessible for all ages and for anyone wanting to hike, climb, boulder, or just go for a stroll. MOUNT DILLER For something a little farther out of town, you could head to Mount Diller.

Towering 10,000 feet above sea level, anyone who makes it to the top will get an unobstructed panoramic view of the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley, the Salton Sea, and beyond.
