Quiet Corners Close to Home

Whether you’re staying local for the holidays or navigating one of life’s busier seasons, moments of quiet can be hard to find. When things start to feel a little chaotic, these are the nature escapes we return to for reflection, meditation, and a chance to reset.

 

San Francisco

Ina Coolbrith Park – A quiet hillside park with sweeping city views

Lands End Labyrinth – Ocean vistas tucked away along the Coastal Trail

Mount Sutro Forest – A peaceful eucalyptus forest in the heart of the city

16th Ave Tiled Steps & Grandview Park – Small but serene, offering panoramic views

 

Marin County

Tennessee Valley Trail – A gentle hike leading to a secluded beach

Ring Mountain Preserve – Rocky landscapes and wildflower meadows

Marin Headlands Coastal Trail – Less-traveled paths with dramatic ocean and Golden Gate views

Mt Tamalpais East Peak Trail – Stunning vistas and peaceful forested paths away from the crowds

Which of these are you headed to first? 🌁🥾
