Upscale living and scenic beauty

A premier hiking destination
Natural scenery and parks are abundant in Claremont Hills. The Claremont Canyon regional nature preserve offers expansive views and challenging hikes. “The trails there are really steep, which means it’s an excellent workout,” Sunk says. For a less ambitious workout, there’s the 1-mile loop at the 13-acre Garber Park, where Sunk says she likes to do interval training. One of the most popular hiking destinations is Grizzly Peak, a summit in the Berkeley Hills with panoramic views. “It’s the best place to watch the sun set,” Sunk says. Claremont Hills is also a short drive to the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, where hikers can traverse the craggy inclines of an extinct volcano and seek out spiral stone sculptures, known as labyrinths, that are tucked away in the hills.
