East Bay Skyline Trail: Hike 1
Hi friends. I am resurrecting this very old blog (only lasted through my pregnancy with Quinn, I think) to communicate about group hikes I am putting together for friends with the flexibility to hike during the week. We are going to complete the East Bay Skyline National Recreation Trail in 2015. This is a 31 mile trail that extends through the East Bay Regional Park District. Instead of hiking it end to end, we are going to do the easier segments first, and work our way up. This will help us figure out our pace and work out the logistics of getting to the trailheads, etc.
Here are the details of our first hike:
We will hike the five miles from Skyline Gate to MacDonald Gate on Tuesday, February 2. The hike should start at 8:45 a.m. Dogs are welcome if they can hike 5 miles or you can carry a dog that far. If it is pouring rain, we can postpone the hike until February 4.
Logistics: We can meet at St. Paul's after drop-off and take an Uber from there to Skyline Gate (on Skyline Blvd), and get another Uber back from MacDonald gate to St. Paul's. However, given that we will probably only need four hours to do this, it might be easier to all meet at Skyline Gate, and have one person drive with me to MacDonald to leave my car and drive me to Skyline. I can bring everyone back to Skyline after the hike.
Please bring water, hiking boots/shoes and food/snack for yourself.
Leave an RSVP in the comments. I need one driver to assist with car set-up. Can't wait!
Andrea
