Upcoming Events

We will meet at Rose and Grant in front of Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, observe the murals there and then walk via the Northbrae neighborhood to the Ohlone Greenway where we will see native shrubs with their name tags, a large mural, and a couple of smaller paintings and murals.

We will meet at the North Berkeley Library and walk from there at a moderate pace to stop and visit a number of charming Little Free Libraries and meet some of their owners. Bring a book or two to exchange for a treasure you might find.

Start your weekend off with a staircase hike in Oakland's beautiful Trestle Glen neighborhood. Our wandering route will go by many pretty houses, twisting streets, and pocket parks from Lakeshore Ave to Park Blvd and back.

We will take various paths up to the ridge line then continue north, zigzagging to pick up more paths toward the Kensington border, then work our way back.  I hope we can maintain a brisk pace and finish in four hours.  There are restrooms at the community center at the start, and we will pass another public restroom about a mile into the walk.

Explore Upper Rockridge on this strenuous and fast-paced walk featuring “secret” stairs, murals, and an architectural mix of pre- and post- 1991 Oakland Firestorm homes. There are a couple of out-and-backs, but mostly we will loop up and down, getting our heart rates up while we see some interesting homes, art, and nice views.
