near Clayton and Danville: “Mount Diablo State Park is the crown jewel of the East Bay. On a clear day, from the summit, 40 of California’s 58 counties can be seen, from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Sentinel Dome of Yosemite Valley .”
He tried to throw in a good mix of hikes to appeal to a wide audience. “The hikes are a combination of things that are locally famous – summiting Mount Diablo or Mount Tam – and things that aren’t nearly so ‘famous’ in the wider community but are still absolutely beautiful places with generally better transit access,” he says.
“Hiking by Transit” might be an eye-opener for people who just assumed you need a car to enjoy nature. That’s kind of the way many of these areas developed, notes Tschuy. “A lot of what makes it hard to get out into nature on public transit is the historic legacy of how our natural spaces came to be,” he says. “They’re usually out on the fringe of suburbia, and with transit agencies having to make difficult decisions about what services to run, a lot of those outermost buses get cut in favor of keeping service in denser areas.”
When political discussion turns to slashing public transit, says Tschuy, something often lost is the role buses and trains play in getting us into our parks.
