This place is the good place for hiking and to watching the sun set. And it is free of parking. The trails are very easy, and there are many kinds of birds, it is great place for taking the photo for the birds. At evening, the sunset is gorgeous, the Dombarton Bridge under the there, just a great view.

We often go to Niles Canyon area of Fremont. The area is know for the silent movie industry and also railroads. One can visit the silent movie museum. The railroad often has train rides one can take. In the area, there is also a series of antique stores to look for treasures. There is also several cafes and restaurants. This is a historic area of Fremont to visit. Our most recent visit was in November 2019.

Enjoyed walking/trekking on Coyote Hills Regional Park. There is a fee per car (and additional cost for dog) to get into the park. During winter period, it can be really cold because of the wind, so be prepared. This is at least half a day event. There are various route you can take and you can determine from the start. Highly recommend for those who wants outside activity and exercise.
4. Hayward Fault Exposed

Reviewed By L9508TUstephenc - Fremont, United States
As amateur geologists, a look at a significant fault running through an urban area is fascinating. The signs are there to be seen for those that know what to look for: rippled asphalt, misaligned curb stones, uplifted or depressed land, etc. The Hayward Fault pretty much runs through the center of downtown Fremont and many of its suburban neighborhoods where this walk is located. This is an easy walk and a good opportunity to educate yourself and your children.

The Alameda Creek trail is like a hidden secret...I have lived in Fremont for >15 yr, only 0.5mile from this trail, and only recently discovered it. You can get from the Mission Hills in Fremont all the way to Coyote Hills (on the Bay) using this trail. My husband and I like to bike over to Quarry Lakes and Niles using this trail. It is not connected to the roads and only for walkers, joggers, and bikers. It's a safe way to bike around! I wish there were more trails like this so we could bike more and drive less!
