A quick stroll through Joaquin Miller Park

It’s been a while since I’ve added some adventures here. I’ll probably add some more about Sarah and Jenny’s visits….soon. But worry not, I’ve been exploring my new home!

Case-in-point, my quick trip to Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland, CA.

I’ve wanted to get out for a few weeks, on my own, and explore some more that the East Bay has to offer, and Joaquin Miller Park definitely did not disappoint. A Redwood, Eucalyptus, and Pine tree Oasis, it offers a respite from the city and suburbs that make up my day-to-day life.

There was plenty of uphill climbing in this park. A very nice cascade leading up to the Woodminster Amphitheater, which seems to offer shows during the summer, was built in 1937 by the PWA (Public Works Administration).

To be fair, I only explored the southwestern third of the park, and not even that in it’s entirety. But I’ll just leave some pictures as the rest of this post, and either add more or a new post when I get to do some of the other trails (like the Cinderella trail, or the Big Trees trail).
