Hike: The East Bay Regional Park adjoins the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and offers trails in marshes, grasslands and hills. The planned route includes the hills and some wetlands. This route can be taken in the wettest conditions. The hike is about 3.5 miles and takes about 2 hours. This hike is a moderate hike with an elevation gain of about 300 feet. Dogs are not allowed on this hike. The hills are too steep for wheelchairs. Restrooms are available at the beginning and end of the hike and also at the Dairy Glen. You may eat your lunch after we return to our cars.
We expect to see raptors, shorebirds and a few migratory bird species.
