Accessibility: Not Wheelchair accessible

Description: This 3.0+ mile, out-and-back hike is NOT flat! But it’s not steep either.  It follows the West Ridge Trail over gently rolling terrain heading south.  We begin in the redwoods, pass through a “cathedral” of cypress, followed by a stretch of eucalyptus and on through groves of oak and bay.  Mt. Diablo to the east can be glimpsed occasionally.  We will start at the Redwood Bowl Staging Area and walk as far as we like (or until the trail dives down into the canyon, near the Toyon Trail junction).  We will have several walk leaders who can accommodate various levels of speed and distance. You can turn around at any point.  

 Where to meet: We will meet at the Roberts Regional Park, Redwood Bowl Staging Area parking lot on Skyline Blvd. just north of the Roberts Recreation area, and just south of the Chabot Space Center. 

What to bring: Binoculars if you have them, good hiking shoes or boots for the trails, layered clothing for variable weather, water, windbreaker, snacks, hat, Hiking poles are optional, but a good idea.  

Directions: Hwy 13 south to Joaquin Miller Road. Go left at the stop sign to get on Joaquin Miller Rd.  Follow Joaquin Miller Road and turn Left at the stop light onto Skyline Blvd.  Drive about a mile until you have passed the Roberts Recreation Area entrance. About 100 yds beyond turn R (east) into  The Redwood Bowl Staging area parking lot. The parking lot is also about 100 yards south of the entrance to Chabot Space & Science Center. 

Transportation: Need a ride? Members can request a ride from the Ashby Village office- 510-204-9200. Or have  a guest bring you, and join you on the walk. Contact Jeanette for assistance.
