Meet at the Vollmer Peak Trailhead in Tilden Park near the Steam Trains.

Our November Breakthrough T1D Hike Don’t Spike event for adults will be in scenic Tilden Park in Berkeley on Sunday, November 17th, which is National Hiking Day! This will be a moderate, dog-friendly ~5.2-mile (1100’ elevation gain) loop which includes the Seaview Trail with some of the most iconic views in the East Bay. With clear weather, we’ll see three bridges to the west (Golden Gate, Richmond, and Bay) and two reservoirs to the east (Briones and San Pablo Dam). In addition to the ridgetop portion of the hike, we’ll dip down into a partly shaded portion under pine and eucalyptus trees, with one steep uphill at the end. There is plenty of parking, with bathrooms available at the start. We’ll meet at the Vollmer Peak Trailhead in Tilden Park near the Steam Trains.
