Although Lafayette isn’t far from the busting Bay Area, it’s situated among some of Northern California’s most scenic parks. Mount Diablo State Park offers stunning views of its surrounding hills and valleys, and visitors can either drive or hike to the top. Briones Regional Park is another scenic area that features multi-use trails through grassy hills and shaded canyons, and visitors can hike to the top of Briones Peak, which offers views of the Diablo Valley, the Sacramento River delta, and the East Bay Hills. John Muir National Historic Site also offers gorgeous views along with a unique slice of California history. Visitors to the park can explore historic landmarks like the Muir/Strentzel Home and the Martinez Adobe, or they can hike to the top of Mount Wanda.

If you want to explore the bay, head to McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, where you can walk, run, or bike down trails with stunning views of the bay.
