About this event

RSVP: Jeanette Ward jbwardhmb@gmail.com or 650.954.7476 You may self register or call Jeanette to register you. We like to know who is coming, so we know to look for you, can send you reminders, and can let you know if the walk is canceled, for any reason.

When: Wednesday, June 10, 11AM for about 2 hours

Where: Redwood Regional Park, West Ridge Trail, Skyline Gate, 8490 Skyline Blvd., Oakland

Open to: All

Accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible

Description: This is a favorite with our walkers. It is doable for most walk levels and should be pleasant with some shade. With out and back trails, we usually go an hour out and an hour back–probably 2ish miles, depending upon speed. Some may go farther than others, as we all have our walk pace and distance abilities.

The West Ridge Trail is a wide dirt road which gently undulates through tall Monterey pines, redwoods, oaks and bay trees. Beautiful panoramic views can be seen occasionally.

While we each know our own walking ability and limitations, having a cell phone with us is always a good idea. Cell reception, however, is not always available on the trails. We strive to have walk leaders available and encourage walkers to always walk with others for safety.

Where to meet: We will meet in the parking lot at Skyline Gate Redwood Regional Park, 8490 Skyline Blvd, Oakland. If it is full, you can park along the residential streets. Please allow time to get there and park, for a prompt start!

There is an accessible toilet in the parking lot.

Transportation: Need a ride? Members can request a ride from Ashby Village for a volunteer driver who can join us. You may know someone from your neighborhood group with whom you might carpool. Or, have a family member or other guest bring you, and join you on the walk. Members can also see who is registered for the walk (you must be logged into the website) and arrange car pooling.

What to bring: Good hiking shoes or boots for the trails, layered clothing for variable weather, water, windbreaker, snacks. Hiking poles are optional, but always a good idea for help with balance and to propel you along the way.

How to get there:
Drive south on Hwy 13 (toward Hayward).
Exit Right at Park Blvd and turn Left at the traffic light (Park Blvd).
Cross over the overpass, and turn Left again on Mountain Blvd. At the 2nd traffic light turn Right onto Snake Rd.
After 0.2 miles, proceed straight ahead on curvy Shepherd Canyon Rd. for
approximately 2 miles (Snake turns abruptly left: don’t follow it).
Turn right at Skyline Drive.
After about 0.3 miles, turn left into the parking lot at the Skyline Gate parking lot, 8490 Skyline Blvd, Oakland
