that’s where you get the best colors \u003ci>off \u003c/i>the clouds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for what causes those flaming colors at sunset, Null explains that “as the sun gets low on the horizon, it’s going through a deeper part of the atmosphere.” At noon, the sun is right overhead, with “a fairly short distance to the atmosphere,” — but as the sun starts setting, “then it’s a longer distance to the atmosphere, and more and more of the shorter wavelengths of light — the blues, the greens — get filtered out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11979354\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11979354\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/GettyImages-1853812919_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunset over the Pacific Ocean at Marshall’s Beach in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This then “leaves the reds and the oranges,” Null said — often resulting in a sky that looks like it’s on fire. \u003ca href=\"https://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/corfidi/sunset.html\">Read more about the science of colorful sunsets in this explainer\u003c/a> from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: \u003ca href=\"#sunsethikesbayarea\">Some of the best sunset hikes around the Bay Area\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Time your evening hike well\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>What’s commonly referred to as “golden hour” is the hour before the sun sets — “where the sun angles are low, so you have more golden tones coming through,” Null said. “You don’t have this bright, harsh overhead light,” he said, “so that last hour, the sun is less intense, and it gives this golden kind of glow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for when the sun will actually dip below the horizon, Null said that there are multiple ways to obtain an accurate sunset time — but the easiest is that “you can actually just ask your smartphone or Alexa or whoever: ‘What time is this sunset today?’” That’s because all of those apps and sites get their information from the same place, Null said: \u003ca href=\"https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/RS_OneYear\">The United States Naval Observatory\u003c/a> (USNO). \u003ca href=\"https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/RS_OneYear\">The government’s site itself\u003c/a> is not the most user-friendly application — you’ll have to manually account for any daylight saving time, for one thing — but it \u003ci>will \u003c/i>give you a look-ahead table of sunset times for the coming days and weeks, which might be helpful for planning future evening hikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11979343\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11979343\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1290\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut-800x538.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut-1020x685.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/baybridge150214_qut-1536x1032.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bay Bridge at sunset as seen from Grizzly Peak Boulevard in the Oakland Hills. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll want to time the start of your evening hike to ensure you’re not racing to your sunset viewpoint. “The sun sets actually fairly rapidly once it gets down over the horizon,” Null said. “So, if I’m going to go shoot a sunset, I want to get to [my viewpoint] about 15 minutes before the sunset time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Want to take photos?

Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz. Parks in Oregon and Florida also are loaning this type of adaptive equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953173\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11953173 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-800x632.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with lighter skin and gray hair wearing a purple sweater and blue jeans is seen sitting in a wheelchair with a background of trees.\" width=\"800\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-800x632.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822-160x126.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/bonnie-oakland-e1686939054822.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bonnie Lewkowicz reviews a trail in Live Oak Park in Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Bonnie Lewkowicz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Accessibility means different things for different people, Lewkowicz says. For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there. Go with your peers,” she advised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Adventures from a wheelchair: ‘Being out on a nature trail is close to being home’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1996, Bay Area resident Mark Hehir started using a wheelchair and breathing on a ventilator due to a rare form of muscular dystrophy called rigid spine syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wanting to share his experiences wheelchair hiking at various parks and trails, Hehir started his \u003ca href=\"https://irishsea-mark-videos.blogspot.com/\">Adventures From a Wheelchair blog\u003c/a> in 2010. On his site, visitors can read reviews and watch videos of all the wheelchair-accessible places Hehir has visited. He’s also an ADA volunteer for Santa Clara County Parks and has worked with them since 2015 to improve access to their parks and hiking trails. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_5UNVOz8E\">See Hehir’s video of his favorite trails and parks in partnership with Santa Clara Open Space Preserve.\u003c/a>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Mark Hehir, Bay Area resident']‘When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away.’[/pullquote]For Hehir, using a wheelchair and being on a ventilator causes his muscles to easily get stressed, which can then affect his breathing — and he says that being in the outdoors is like medicine for him. “When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away,” said Hehir in an email to KQED. “Being out on a nature trail is close to being home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir says that accessible trails need to be maintained each year, but notes that not all hiking spots can be accessible, due to the terrain. He wishes to see more accessible trails getting extended, making them longer. “A problem is, many accessible trails are short, less than a mile,” he said. “You spend 40 minutes getting to a trail and it only takes 15 minutes to hike it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir advises all levels of hikers to check weather conditions before going out, to always bring water and to stay on the right side of the trail to avoid any accidents with cyclists. Try to arrive at the trailhead early in the day, he recommends.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘People who use wheelchairs are just like everyone else’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ashley Lyn Olson was paralyzed at 14 in a car accident that also killed her father.

Information like parking, accessible bathrooms, distance of trail, elevation gains, available activities like birdwatching or picnicking — and whether there are barriers like steps on the trail — are often the things Lewkowicz feels get left out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the ADA-accessible trail information needs to be more clearly defined, with more details of all the accessible features. “Which is why I do the work that I do and try and help relieve that burden for people,” she said. Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz.

For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there.

He wishes to see more accessible trails getting extended, making them longer. “A problem is, many accessible trails are short, less than a mile,” he said. “You spend 40 minutes getting to a trail and it only takes 15 minutes to hike it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir advises all levels of hikers to check weather conditions before going out, to always bring water and to stay on the right side of the trail to avoid any accidents with cyclists.

Sputnik, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, was about the size and shape of a beach ball, and it sent the U.S. into a national panic that was eventually channeled into a space program of our own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11912627\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11912627\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A man standing several flights of stairs up a giant satellite dish smiles at the view.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/IMG_5772-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stephen Muther, a senior research engineer at SRI International, takes in the view from the mezzanine level of his office. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We were … listening to signals from [the Soviet Union] as they bounced off of the moon, using the moon as a reflector,” Muther said.

Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa.

Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time.

It offers a good workout, plus it has something that I really love when I hike, and that's rock formations.\" \u003cem>— Jeanette Marie\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.presidio.gov/trails\">\u003cstrong>The Presidio\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632660\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11632660\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut.jpg 480w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28100_Hiking_Presidio_Adamson-qut-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Park Trail in the Presidio, San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Arjun Adamson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Park Trail in the Presidio, SF (just outside the WWII cemetery) is gorgeous when you catch the light hitting the trees, easy hiking.\" \u003cem>— Arjun Adamson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>SOUTH BAY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are so many great choices in \u003ca class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/santaclaracountyparks/?hc_location=ufi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santa Clara County Parks:\u003c/a> I recommend Sanborn County Park for north county residents (shady, hills, easiest is John Nicholas Trail); Santa Teresa Park for central county (park in the Pueblo Day Use area and walk in any direction); and Harvey Bear-Coyote Lake for south county.

When we asked our readers to share their favorite trails a few years ago, we received a few hundred replies from every corner of the bay — Livermore to Pescadero, Muir Beach to Mountain View, San Jose to Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trails include Little Yosemite, Brushy Peak and Gray Whale Cove. Some of you didn't want to share your secret, \"quiet\" getaway from the hiking hordes. (\"Like I’m telling. I don’t want my place to get overrun like Mission Peak,\" wrote Paula Baez.) Yeah, we get it. Others quipped that their \"hike\" was a stroll to the fridge (Jacque Sommers) or that \"relatives might get lost\" (Winston Fox Nelson). And yet others shared sweet memories of the trails. (\"The 8-mile trail to Point Reyes [is my favorite], mostly because it was the first of many hikes I took with the woman I married,\" wrote Mark Falstein.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of you did share your top picks — and pics (some with horses, dogs and kids in tow) — as well as your own telling names for trails, such as \"deer tick trail\" in Mount Diablo State Park, and some insider tips on park gems, like a cow named Stella in Rancho San Antonio Preserve, the abundance of banana slugs in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve, and historic Willson Camp in Henry Coe State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's so hard to choose; they're all my favorites,\" wrote Barbara Baksa.

Both wind up at Lake Ilsanjo, which is quiet peaceful. Multiple options to extend your route via map trail posted at the lake. I would suggest printing the trail map out ahead of time.
