October Bay Area Hike Options Expand as Events and New Coastal Destinations Arrive

Walktober runs October 3–31 with more than 30 guided San Francisco hikes, while October trip ideas include Crissy Field, the Golden Gate Dozen route, newly opened Don Horsley County Park at Tunitas Creek Beach, and several newer or reopened fall trails. Fleet Week crowds, traffic, parking, permits, and beach conditions require extra planning around coastal outings.
