Golden Gate park is nice, but it's not really hiking.
I'd say if you're looking for green hills and lots of wildflowers, you're looking for Marin, just north of the Golden Gate bridge. Rolling hills, plus a great view of the city and the bay if you get lucky with the weather. Be sure to climb Mt. Tamalpias if you have time!
Other great places in Marin county are Muir Woods and Point Reyes, closer to the coast.

Muir woods is a beautiful place to hike. Golden Gate park also has a lot of really nice areas. Enjoyed both when I lived in San Francisco.

Mt. Diablo. Catch it from the Clayton side and hike to the summit. There are water falls, nice trails and lot's of wildlife and flowers. .
Another place is an east bay regional park. Round Valley, east of Antioch off of Marsh Creek Rd. Check out the East Bay Regional Park website.

you'll locate area of the bay section that you sense tender with. once you depart San Francisco and pass in the route of Walnut Creek, the ambience is truly diverse. You wont sense as if you're close to San Francisco in any respect. many human beings over in those parts like Napa and Walnut Creek have extra in common with Fresno than San Francisco and dont't like San Francisco. Napa is a million a million/4 hrs from S.F. and Walnut Creek it really is a diverse county is a touch closer, in accordance to site visitors. BART does perform between Walnut Creek and S.F. yet does no longer perform in Napa county. Oakland Airport is on an similar area of the bay as Walnut Creek so is likewise extra appropriate than SFO. Napa is larger away. California is created from human beings from everywhere else, unlike some extra historic parts of the U.S. and that i'm positive you'll gradually locate your position. actually everyone ought to journey travelling and residing in different places to get yet another attitude. i became 23 when I went off to Hawaii on my own years in the past. You dont ought to lose your roots in simple terms because you pass to California for 4 years. you're fantastically youthful to be so nervous. In California, human beings stay interior their own communities so that you wont sense beaten by too many human beings if you're interior the suburbs except on the freeways. San Francisco is like Boston by using comparisons to a special city. California is truly stay 5 states rolled into one and also you should provide it a probability. Lake Tahoe is 4 hours from San Francisco, and Sacramento is in between Tahoe and Frisco notwithstanding in the route of Tahoe. From Walnut Creek you will get to searching and fishing places interior some hours.

Angel Island or Big Basin State Park.
Angel Island has a view of SF and Big Basin has the redwoods without the crowds of Muir Woods.
