Mount Umunhum offers breathtaking views on non-foggy days. Happily, there are 26 open space preserves in the mid-peninsula region, offering easy hikes, picnic spots and stunning views. But 5-point harnesses can only contain kid energy for so long. Make sure to check out their Naturalist Program page for a variety of seasonal activities including apple cider pressing.Дriving along Skyline Boulevard as it dips, rises and weaves through the Peninsula can be visually rewarding on its own, as you pass by stands of sycamores and big-leaf maples. The Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont is another great spot for leaf peeping. The Indian Joe Creek Nature Trail is a short, self-guided walk that provides loads of information about the park, it's animal inhabitants and the foliage there. Find out if they are offering any naturalist-led hikes while you are there or head out on your own. Slip through the Caldecott tunnel to find canopies of yellow leaves in and around the trees of Orinda вЂs Community Center Park (perfect for making piles and kicking) and along Camino Pablo.ДЄnother great East Bay spot is the Sunol Regional Wilderness that welcomes a kaleidoscope of color as soon as you hit the visitor's center. In November and December, head downhill to the UC Berkeley campus, when itвЂ™s ablaze with lemon-yellow gingko leaves maples and myrtles add some flair. Keep your eye out (not your hands, please!) for the flaming red leaves of poison oak, which add some of the most striking color to the park. Stroll through the Botanic Garden to find changing colors, or hike around Lake Anza. Up in the hills above Berkeley, Tilden Park is another go-to place for fall color. Where else can you get a bird's eye view of the zoo and surrounding landscape? During your visit, take the opportunity to view the California Trail exhibit, where you can see grizzly bears, bald eagles, California condors, gray wolves, mountain lions and even jaguars. The Oakland Zoo 's gondola is the place to be this fall when the leaves start changing color.
