Huckleberry Preserve
Huckleberry is by far one of my favorite parks in the Bay Area. Despite it's small size, it has a mind-boggling diversity of native plants. It's a great place to hike in all seasons, since there is something flowering almost all year. Spring definitely puts on a show, however.
Although there are a few spots with more open views, most of the trail feels like a tunnel of green. This is great for me because I can just focus on all the plants. Here are some pics from this damp spring day.
