If you prefer the more gentle option, we will drive (5 minutes) to the Alvarado Park trailhead from Monte Cresta. Volunteer Enid Pollack will lead this part of the walk.
We will start the walk at the Monte Cresta Trailhead in Wildcat Park. If you want to use a GPS, put in 6329 Monte Cresta Dr., Richmond, CA. Here is how to get there (Give yourself about 30 minutes from Ashby BART): Hwy 80 East to Exit San Pablo Dam Road (NOT Exit San Pablo); turn right onto San Pablo Dam Road. Turn first right onto Morrow Dr. Turn 2nd left onto Hillcrest Road; turn 2nd right onto Bonita Road; turn 4th left onto Monte Cresta. Park at the top of the street, or along the roadside. Meet at the turnaround."
