Description

very steep ascent (ca. 400m vertically) to Skyline Blvd. Wonderful dirt trail through Redwood regional park. Dramatic descent to Berkeley (ending in front of the majestic Claremont Ressort Hotel and Spa). Some viewpoints with incredible vistas over the entire Bay from Marin through the Golden Gate to Oakland and Fremont. Very rewarding for a Sunday afternoon.
