To some extent,  the locales of Bay Area remind one of home, back in Uttaranchal. Here are some adventurous hikes undertaken by none other than Raj Badoni with his able and talented photographer, Somit Joshi. Both of them have combined text with pictures to give you a great description of these beautiful locations and an incentive for you to take those 'hiking boots' out of hiding.

1. Pahari spirit hike to Mount Madonna

2. Pahari hike to Castle Rock state park.

3. Bay Area Uttaranchalis picnic September 2005
