BEAR CREEK ROAD

Thanks to all the rain we’ve had this winter, the hills are still gloriously green, just the time for a drive.

As you pass through Tilden Park at the top of the East Bay hills, in the spring you’ll see yellow wild mustard flowers in bloom.

This is one of the trails I used to hike up.

On the far side of the East Bay hills is the San Pablo Reservoir.

You can hike around it on the Oursin Trail…

…or take a drive out Bear Creek Road, which runs for many miles through rolling hills.

In the spring you’ll also see lupin.
