Briones Regional Park Day Hiking

Briones Regional Park is in the East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area in California. East Bay has many hiking parks. When hills are green, it is very pretty. 

The picture below was taken in Briones Regional Park. It is very typical and nice scenery in East Bay. Rolling hills with some green trees, undulating hills, then Mount Tamalpais. Mount Tamalpais is located in East Bay and it has an iconic shape and it can be found from everywhere. Its nickname, Mt.Tam is handsome from any angles. I consider that is one of the great mountains' feature. 

A lot of parks are used as ranch, so you see many cows in these parks (left picture). It is kind of fun. 

Sometimes cows are on the trail. Usually they run away when hikers get close. Once in a while, they don't move at all and need to carefully pass them.

Livestock is nice to see, but wildlife is always very special. On this hike, I saw a coyote! He looks healthy cute. I was so excited. Seeing wildlife is not very often, therefore it is precious and exciting.
