"Rarely busy lanes during the day + stadium lighting at night make for a runner's paradise. The track is free & open to the public but field use requires a permit. Check GGP's website for closures."

"A must-do for locals & tourists. Trails feature woods, ocean & the GG Bridge from afar. Don't forget to see the labyrinth & Mile Rock Beach off the main trail. Go early or on weekdays to avoid crowds."

"Golden Gate Park is recreational heaven. For bikers, walkers, runners, roller skaters, etc.: take advantage of the whole eastern half of JFK Drive when it's closed to traffic on Sundays."

"If you're looking for solid ramen in the Peninsula without an insane wait, Ramen Seas is your place. It's located right in Downtown Sunnyvale. Great selection of ramen with plenty of add-in options."

"The hype is real. This is only a 30-40min drive from Portland and so worth it. Go on the early side if you want to beat the crowds and don't forget to hike the trails behind the falls themselves."

"Amazing place to see the sunset but go at least half an hour before the reported sunset time for the day. Twin peaks obstructs the full view so it appears to set "earlier" here."
