For any first prospective first timers in the Bay Area reading this.... Nature is the way to go. Oakland volcanic preserve. Go at 6am and hike to the top. You won’t be able to see anything because of the fog. When the fog disappears and you see the world.... it’s like 4K oled meets virtual reality. Except the your peripheral bounds span beyond imax. That + color. There are so many micro world vibes that will blow your mind. The different shades of green based on where you are the park will lead to different emotions. Unforgettable. For another trip; Berkeley’s botanical preserves (if you can get access) are a completely different vibe. As I’m sure you can imagine. Access can be a little tough. Anyways, as one who always ‘yeah yeah yeah’d those who appreciated nature around me. I finally learned to shut the fuck up and appreciate nature.
