“Walking with neighbors and community members through North Berkeley reminded me of just how special our city’s hidden pathways are. The Berkeley Path Wanderers Association has done such incredible work to preserve and connect these walkways, adding so much character, beauty, and connectivity to our neighborhoods. I’m grateful to them for all their efforts to link our neighborhoods together, make our community more walkable, vibrant, and welcoming for all.”

Upcoming Events
This moderately paced walk features fine architecture, an unusual view of the Claremont Hotel, bits of history, the neighborhoods affected by the 1991 fire, and of course a few paths.
The work is mostly weeding, sweeping, raking, and clipping. We will have gloves and tools available.
To receive the location information, RSVP path.maintenance@berkeleypaths.org.
Start your weekend off with a staircase sunset hike. Today's wandering route takes us on ten paths and five very fun City parks.
Explore Upper 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.
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.
This year’s ‘Long Walk’ explores the less-traveled trails of the John Muir Land Trust. If you haven’t been to this area of the East Bay, you are in for a treat!

“Paths connect. It is their first duty and chief reason for being. They relate places in a literal sense, and by extension they relate people.”
