Berkeley One-Hour Hike

I have a standing weekly date with one of my grandma friends to walk the steep trails--not for sissies. My friends app says it is a 50-story hike. If we feel tired, we walk slower. There are amazing views of the Bay that can feel like rewards as you walk up up up. Friends comment on my vitality--this hike is part of my exercise program. I think it is part of the reason that I scored in the 99 percentile during my last stress test. The beginning of the climb has the advantage of amazing work of volunteers removing non-invasive plants and replacing them with local flowering varieties. This, for me, is 100 times better than a stair master at a stinky gym. And the price is right! Free.

This is probably the most fun hiking spot I've been to. The trails are beautiful and really fun to walk through with my two German Shepherds. We are so conked after hiking for an hour. The trails are not just straight paths. They are up and down and sideways. Not an easy trail to walk through if you're out of shape like me. I've gone on hikes with my dogs before and never had a trail made my calves hurt so bad the next few days after. Though, the trail was so fun and immersive that every second was well worth it. My dogs are also just as tired as I was after and they were happy with how fun the trails were. I'm definitely coming here again!

Gorgeous view of the city and the bay from the preserve! The best view points are close to different trail heads around Berkeley, the Berkeley Overlook Vista Point and a place marked as Pano. However, those segments of the trail are also the steepest so definitely be prepared for some strenuous climb. The trail east of Panoramic Way is significantly quieter with much less foot traffic but also you are getting away from the best views and getting into the woods.

Great park with challenging hikes and fantastic views. There are trails here that ascend ~1,500 feet - all the way to the base of Tilden Regional Park. It’s a park I frequent when weather permits (which fairly often) for the hikes. I’ve seen all manner of wildlife on trails in this park: Coyotes, deer, prairie dogs (or at least that is what I think they are), rabbits, rattle snakes, lizards, etc… but haven’t had any issues.

The views here are incredible! If you’re from out of town, or you have out of town guests, definitely come here! You can see the entire bay, Oakland, Cal, SF, and Marin, see the Golden Gate, and on to the ocean! Not a bad length of hike either, it’s about a mile to the part with great views, and you can keep going beyond that if you wish.
