Hiking in the Bay Area to See Fields of Baby's Breath Blossoms

This year, the blooming season in the Bay Area arrived sooner than last year, and the Baby's Breath flowers (Gypsophila) are all in full bloom now! I'd like to characterize this hidden valley as a true Hidden Gem - a treasure indeed! If you go uphill along the steep slopes, you'll see loads of Baby's Breath blooming left and right, and pear blossoms in full bloom at the foot of the mountain. 📍Hidden Valley Ridge Trail, San Ramon CA 94582 You can see Baby's Breath near the entrance of the trail. About a 5-minute walk is all it takes. The slope is quite steep and there's no shade on the trail, but the path itself is wide and flat. Baby's Breath and pear flowers are currently in their prime and will probably peak for another 1-2 weeks. There's also some unidentified pink wildflowers at the top of the mountain, like a blanket of pink carpet. ⏰Recommended photo time: between 4 and 5 PM when the warm and backlight make it seem as if the Baby's Breath is glowing.✨ 🐺In addition to the flowers, I also saw a running coyote and encountered herds of cows grazing during the day. 🅿️You can park across at Fioli Loop, or park at Hidden Valley Park. After parking, a flat road leads back to the Hidden Valley Trail in about 10 minutes, where you can see the slopes covered with Baby's Breath along the way. 🌸This location is very close to Rancho San Ramon Park, and the purple leaf plums along the road near the park are also in bloom. You might want to check it out too! 🍠Let's appreciate the beauty responsibly, avoid stepping on or picking the flowers. #HikingInTheBayArea #FieldsOfBabysBreath #HiddenGem #BloomingSeason #NatureTrail #Wildflowers #SanRamonCA #FlowerPhotography

Marugame Udon• Bay Area

The newly opened Marugame noodle house in the San Ramon City Center is a discovery I wish I'd made sooner! Nikutama is a signature dish you gotta try, with thick udon noodles, fatty beef with a sweet glaze, and a soft egg, sprinkled with loads of tempura bits and spring onions - stir it all up and it's a meal the whole family is gonna love! This time I switched it up a bit and tried the Curry Nikutama, which is the Nikutama but with added curry sauce. It's a lot saltier, so you def need a cold Coke to balance it out! Other than the noodles, Salt Straw ice cream is another must-try at the City Center. Found out they have ice cream made specially for dogs, with ingredients like apples, carrots, and sweet potatoes, considering bringing my golden retriever next time! A shoutout to City Center, packed with top-notch shops and always buzzing with people 🚩Marugame Udon 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583 #MarugameUdon #SanlitunoftheBayArea #Nikutama #CurryNikutama #SaltStrawIceCream #CityCenter #FoodieFinds #SanRamonCA
