Top 5 Hiking Trails in the San Francisco Bay Area – Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz

You will find everything in Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz Area such as forests, mountains, lakes, ocean views, and beaches. It’s green year round. Unlike the Peninsula area, it’s also sunny most of the time and feels like SoCal. There are lots to do there. In terms of hiking, I like the 5 trails below the most and they are discussed in the order of my preference.

Casual Visit to Lassen Volcanic and Crater Lake National Parks

I went to Lassen Volcanic and Crater Lake National Parks in early June 2022. It’s my first RV trip. So instead of trying to hit all touristy spots, I took my time and learnt how to enjoy living in an RV. The itinerary was pretty loose and casual. I enjoyed the drive from the Golden State to the Beaver State.
