Come join us trouping through the hills of N. Berkeley in the gardens of some of the most picturesque old homes in the bay area. I have mapped out a route based on several hikes from my favorite hike book in this area: “Hidden Walks in the Bay Area” by Stephan Altschuler. There is an adult concrete slide near the start so you may want to bring a sturdy cardboard “sled” of at least 2′ x 3′. Read the rest of this entry »

Come join us trouping through the hills of N. Berkeley while the waterfalls are still flowing freely and the flowers are starting to show up in the gardens of some of the most picturesque old homes in the bay area. I have mapped out a route based on several hikes from my favorite hike book in this area: ”Hidden Walks in the Bay Area” by Stephan Altschuler. There is a concrete slide near the start so you may want to bring a sturdy cardboard “sled” of at least 2′ x 3′. For more speed, firmly attach a sheet of wax paper to the bottom (not plastic cling wrap). It’s very close to the start so you can take it back to your car if you want before the hike. The pictures in this new flyer are from the preview I did recently.
It should take about 3-4 hours and starts at the Berkeley Rose Garden (intersection of Euclid & Eunice) at 10AM. More details will be sent later. Bring layered clothing, camera, strong hiking shoes, water and snacks. Bathroom facilities are at the start and at our lunch stop at Cragmont Rock Park. There are several restaurants I can suggest for lunch after the hike and/or you can bring something for our Cragmont Park stop. I suggest you also bring a second pair of shoes in case they get muddy. Rain may cancel the trip. I will keep signups informed. For more info contact Hoyt Nelson at 
Trip Date: January 7 — 9, 2011
Sign-Up Deadline: Dec 27, 2010 (deadline extended)
Member — $145
