Curious to know how that trip went.

Do you do your hiking continuously, which is to say staying overnight where you stop walking, or do you go 'back' or to another place? One aspect of urban/suburban hiking is that it can be done more easily as day trips, but I rather like the continuity of traveling and having to stay in the wilderness too. I've only rarely spent nights out in developed areas, and it's always less comfortable for me.

I do like that the Bay Area Ridge Trail, since it aims to connect all its segments, has portions that are urban and suburban. Notably it goes through San Francisco on streets and doesn't try to stick to the parks. I've done about half of it all (piecemeal over years) and I try to figure out what route or roads are needed to connect the currently unconnected parts, and even hike it when feasible.
