Cool Hiking Trails & Walking Paths

San Jose and the South Bay has hella cool hiking trails and walking paths. From the cool mountains to rolling foothills, the opportunities to get your steps in are abundant. The western Santa Cruz Mountains (home to Mt Umunhum) have redwood and manzanita trees, while the eastern Diablo Range (home to Mt Hamilton) have more bay and oak trees. This list also has walk-paths within the city limits that are stroll worthy. As normal, pack some water and snack, stay alert, and absorb nature.
