| | Bay Area Hiker: Joaquin Miller Park |
 | | Joaquin Miller's minor differences, mostly relating to signage and maintenance, certainly shouldn't keep you from visiting the park, and whether you experience the missing trail signs and eroded paths as character flaws or endearing qualities is up to you. |
 | | Land comprising the 425 acre park once belonged to poet Joaquin Miller, and a few landmarks, monuments, and structures remain to be explored along Sanborn Drive. |
 | | The historical area is small though, and most of the park is devoted to a network of trails, where hikers can accompany cyclists and equestrians through redwood groves, dark canyon creekbeds, and more exposed slopes invaded with non-native trees such as eucalyptus, acacia, and broom. |
