Wildcat - Tilden Loop, 12.5 miles, 2200 ft elev. gain
Details
We meet at Alvarado Staging Area, Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. I don't anticipate parking problems bur carpool is highly recommended.
I hiked different variations of Wildcat- Tilden loop many times and always enjoy it. Some areas may be crowded , but majority of our trails will look remote. If weather permits you'll enjoy fantastic views at our bay and SF downtown.
Forecasts shows <75F, it is good enough for this hike. Many of our trails won't have are completely exposed, so take plenty of water.
Our route: Belgium tr -> Ridge trail connector -> San Pablo Ridge tr -> Harvey Canyon tr -> Conlon tr ( lunch somewhere in the middle) -> Nimitz eay -.> Rotary peace Grove -> Wildcat peak -> Wildcat peak tr ( crossing Tilden Nature area) -> return by Wildcat Creek trail ( last 3 miles)
Our pace: 2.5 -2.8 per mile. Hike's length and elevation gain is based on AllTrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes , and lunch food.
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages or comments in case you have questions. I may help with carpool options.
Hikers who cancel after RSVP closed will get 'NO SHOW', unless they provide reasonable excuse.
