Ho ho ho...grab your mug of hot chocolate & holiday spirit and join us for this festive evening urbanish hike to check out the Christmas lights and decorated homes around Berkeley Lake. This is not a speed hike! We will be stopping several times to take pics. This is a 3.5 mile +/- urban hike mainly on paved streets (Some sections have sidewalks) with small amount of local neighborhood car traffic. There are several uphills and our pace will be casual to moderate. We will be hiking in the dark against traffic. We will hike once around the lake's perimeter starting and finishing at Berkeley Lake City Hall parking lot across the street from Lake Berkely Chapel. You can't miss it! *** Important Reminder *** Please make sure to wear a headlamp or carry a flashlight, and wear reflective or bright clothing - you want to be seen by drivers! There is some local neighborhood road traffic, but generally very light. You are responsible for your own safety, so let’s make sure we stay safe and don’t get lost in the dark and end up in the North Pole! Attention hikers and elves! This festive stroll is perfect for those who love to socialize and have a good time. If you’re someone who enjoys cracking jokes, sharing stories, and having a laugh with others, then this urban hike is definitely for you. However, if you prefer a more peaceful and quiet walk, or if you’re easily offended, then this event may not be the best fit for you. Consider yourself warned! 😊 Friendly dogs (On leash) and reindeer permitted on hike. Lake Berkeley has been named a Tree City USA for 23 years!
