Itinerary:

Please join me for this approximately four-mile urban hike around Berkeley Lake. Our starting and finish point with be the Berkeley Lake City Hall parking lot. This four-mile urban hike is challenging with 4 miles of frequent hills and a 2.7 mph hiking speed. There are not a lot of pure flat stretches. The hike will take place on streets and sidewalks. Since there are cars, please wear light colored or reflective clothing. Fortunately, the traffic is usually infrequent with friendly drivers that slow down when they see walkers!

Depending on interest there may be an optional gathering at the Forum after the hike.
