Description: Beautiful, wide fire road undulates gently through open woodlands of pine and madrone, turning spectacularly green at this time of year.  Not flat, but easy to navigate. Frequent benches. 2.5 miles total.

Moderate alternative dips down through magestic redwoods and graceful bay trees to the Stream Trail via Prince Trail after 1.25 miles on the East Ridge and back up on Eucalyptus and the Phillips Loop, adding ~0.75 miles for a total of 3.25 miles and 300 ft elevation loss and gain.

Where to meet: Skyline Gate Staging Area, Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA

What to bring: Good shoes for walking, layered clothing for variable weather, walking poles can be helpful particularly if it has been raining and there are puddles, water.

Directions: Hwy 13 south to Park Ave Exit. Left onto Park Ave, then Left onto Mountain Boulevard, then Right onto Snake. When Snake takes a sharp left turn, instead go straight ahead onto Shepherd Canyon Road to the top of the hill at Skyline Blvd, and turn Right.  Follow Skyline south to the parking lot for the Skyline Staging Area.  The lot may be crowded as this is a popular trail.  If this is the case, park along Skyline Blvd.
Carpools: If you need a ride or can give a ride, please "respond to all" on the reminder emal and give your location and contact info for a ride from your home or a convenient BART station.
