Weekend Warriors rejoice. Your days of only feeling like your true self on Saturdays and Sundays are over, all thanks to something that’s gaining steam in the world of outdoor recreation: the microadventure.
The microadventure is just what it sounds like, a short, compact, and rejuvenating excursion into the outdoors that only requires a couple hours of your time. Many outdoor enthusiasts have a misconception that the only adventures worth having are the brag-worthy summits, instagram-able backcountry treks, or grueling feats of endurance.
This mode of thinking just isn’t true, however. You can find that same sense of solace and empowerment in nature in a city park in San Francisco that you get from a three-day backpacking trip in the Sierra. It’s all about being present and budgeting your time to experience the great outdoors right where you are.
Here’s 10 great microadventures in or near the Bay Area that will allow you to tap into your weekend self anytime you have a few hours to spare. Next time you feel like waking up a few hours early or need to blow off some steam after work, pull up this list and hit the ground running.
