: Hiking under the redwoods is a perfect shaded escape in the Bay Area. Did you know about this hidden gem in Los Gatos? Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve features trails that begin by a tranquil pond near the parking lot and climb through dense redwood forests, perfect for a peaceful hike. But did you also know these majestic redwoods, and other open spaces need our help? This August, help support Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) as they work tirelessly to protect and restore our local landscapes. Find out how you can support POST’s incredible work at the link in my bio.
