Carquinez Regional Shoreline 11 miles, 2400 ft elev.gain
Details
We meet at Nejedly Staging Area , it is near near Martinez. I don't anticipate parking problems , but carpool is highly recommended
Hike will consist of 4 uphill and 4 downhills sections some of them can be very steep. We'll reach John Muir Historical site with visiting mt Helena, it won't be enough time to reach mt. Wanda. But we visit Old Martinez summit.
Our route: Unnamed steep tr -> Franklin Ridge Loop -> Hulet Hombeck tr -> Old Martinez summit -> Hulet Hombeck tr ( lunch somewhere close to the end0 -> Main Fire tr (John Muir Historical site ) -> Loop around mt Helena
RETURN: Main Fire tr _. martinez streets and local unnamed trails -> Hulet Hombeck tr -> rankin Park tr back to cars
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 .
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , hiking pants, 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.
