Here's the Idea

As a way to motivate myself to stay in shape (or maybe to get in shape), I thought I would review easy and moderate hikes in the California Bay Area for other new and pregnant moms. I have listed my planned hikes below, including a few walks that aren't really hikes. As I do each hike, I will create a post about it, and put a link to the post in the sidebar so readers can check out the reviews. I will make sure to cover safety, cell phone reception, difficulty, stroller/dog accessibility, highlights, what my hiking companions think about the hike and the amount of food and water needed to safely enjoy the hike. I welcome readers to add their comments about hikes or suggest or review other hikes in the Bay Area that other mamas might like.

Here are the hikes (and walks):

Sibley Round top (easy)
Redwood Road (easy)
Redwood Road (moderate)
Skyline to Prince Road/Steam Trail (moderate)
Tomales (not the whole thing!)
Tennessee Valley (easy)
Presidio (easy)
Coastal Trail (at Fort Point)
False Gun Vista, Richmond
Point Pinole
Joaquin Miller (not the loop)
Bort Meadow (moderate?)
Grass Valley Loop
Cogswell Marsh loop
Tidelands Trail
Angel Island
Alcatraz
Limantour Beach
Pescadero Marsh
Ano Nuevo

College Ave
Golden Gate Park
Sausalito
Ardenwood Farm
Oakland Zoo
