Sylvan Trail to Wildcat Peak - No Dogs
Details
Join Randy in the Tilden Park Nature Area for a fun and scenic figure-eight hike along wooded trails to Jewel Lake and Wildcat Peak. These largely shaded trails should provide a nice hike in the event of a hot day. We will stop for lunch at the Peace Circle at Wildcat Peak, a stone viewing platform and resting spot built to give hikers a 360-degree panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Golden Gate Bridge, San Pablo Reservoir, and Mount Diablo. The stone circle ties into the Berkeley Rotary International Peace Grove, established in the 1950s to honor leaders and contributors to world peace, which we will visit along the trail. The hike is about 4 miles / 800 feet elevation gain. Dogs are not allowed on hikes in the Tilden Park Nature Area. Restrooms are located at the hike starting point. There is no parking fee.
