Most of my favorite local places are ones that few people from outside the community know about. One in particular is the mountain hiking trail of Fremont Older in Saratoga, California. I live in Silicon Valley surrounded by computers companies and business gurus; so oftentimes, people forget about the beautiful nature that makes up this valley. There cannot be a valley without a mountain range nearby and my favorite set of mountains is located on Fremont Older. This trail leads you to the top of the valley to a beautiful view of the entire South Bay. It is a trail with no real direction because everytime someone embarks on this trail, there are different things to notice. This trail is a place for many to escape from the hectic world because it removes technology and focuses on nature. This place is difficult to find and only locals know where it is because it is understood that it is reserved for people living within the South Bay. People may have heard of this place, but one has to be a true local to appreciate it for it is.
Another local place that I am apart of is that of Aptos Beach, California. Here, not only is my home but also a local music hangout called Fins Coffee. Here, in a place surrounded by tourists, is the place for locals to hangout and share their music. This place is inviting to all, but seems to be somewhere for those who appreciate the same things flock to.
