A HIKE THROUGH TILDEN REGIONAL PARK
THE SECOND STAGE OF THE EPIC ROTARY HIKE FROM RICHMOND TO SAN LEANDRO.
SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2022 – 9:00 AM TO NOON
JOIN US ON THE “TILDEN” STAGE OF THE ROTARY HIKE FROM RICHMOND TO SAN LEANDRO. (STAGE 1 WAS IN WILDCAT CANYON REGIONAL PARK IN FEBRUARY; STAGES 3 AND 4 WILL BE IN REDWOOD (JUNE) AND CHABOT (AUGUST) REGIONAL PARKS).
BECAUSE THIS IS A POINT-TO-POINT HIKE, WE WILL MEET AT 9:00 AM AT TILDEN PARK’S STEAM TRAINS PARK LOT; WE WILL CARAVAN TO THE PARK’S INSPIRATION POINT, LEAVING SEVERAL CARS AT THE STEAM TRAINS SO THAT WE CAN CARAVAN BACK TO INSPIRATION POINT AT THE END OF THE HIKE.
FROM TILDEN’S INSPIRATION POINT TRAILHEAD, WE WILL HIKE SOUTHBOUND ALONG THE SEA VIEW TRAIL, TO THE STEAM TRAINS PARK LOT AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PARK. DISTANCE: ABOUT 3 MILES; FIRST 2 MILES MODERATE UPHILL; FINAL MILE MODERATE DOWNHILL.
BRING YOUR OWN WATER, TRAIL SNACKS AND HIKING POLIES. WE’LL SHARE LUNCH AND BEVERAGES AT TRAIL’S END. DOGS OK; BRING A LEASH.
DIRECTIONS TO THE STEAM TRAINS PARK FROM OAKLAND: TAKE HIGHWAY 24 THROUGH THE CALDECOTT TUNNELS; IMMEDIATELY AFTER EXITING THE EAST END OF THE TUNNELS, TAKE THE FISH RANCH ROAD EXIT. FISH RANCH ROAD WILL WIND OVER THE HIGHWAY; THEN LOOK FOR SIGNAGE, FIRST TO “TILDEN PARK ATTRACTIONS” THEN TO “STEAM TRAINS.” MEET AT THE STEAM TRAINS OVERFLOW PARK LOT. FROM THE PARK LOT, WE WILL CARAVAN TO INSPIRATION POINT, LEAVING SEVERAL CARS BEHIND TO CARAVAN BACK TO THE INSPIRATION POINT AT THE END OF THE HIKE.
