Hikes Led by Mike

• San Francisco Hilltop Tour
• Hike description: Great for ALL LEVELS of hiker! A popular favorite, we sample all the great views from San Francisco's central hills. Hikers are encouraged to do any portion of the hike, stopping to do other city-things when they've had enough, or catching a bus or calling a cab--you can even join us along the way if you call and track us down en route. The entire loop is 13 miles and goes from Bernal Hill to Holly Park, Glen Canyon, Mount Davidson, Twin Peaks, Tank Hill, Monument Hill, the Vulcan and Saturn Steps, Corona Heights with the Castro, Dolores Park and the wild murals of Clarion Alley on the way back to Bernal. This will be the fourth time Mike has led this hike.

• Oakland Hidden Woods to Redwood Peak
• Hike description: --Please take a moment to review http://kermitbubbleboy.net/temp/Mikes_Hike_Facts/HIKE_FACTS.html _________________________________________________________ This hike is a 9 mile out-and-back from an urban Oakland city park to Redwood Peak, an ascent and then descent of slightly over 1100 feet. The ascent is mostly a gentle-to-moderate climb with several brief stretches of steepness and/or steps. The surprise treat here is that the vast majority of the trail feels very woodsy because, though we are deep in Oakland, the Sausal Creek corridor is a lovely strip of nature and the Palos Colorados trail has some sections that rival the Soda Gulch trail on the Peninsula and the French Trail in Redwood Park for sheer forest majesty. As an out-and-back, it's easy for hikers to quit early and head back down the trail whenever they wish, but to keep things interesting for those who prefer the whole tour, we generally take one section of the Big Trees trail in Joaquin Miller on the way up and a ...

  A popular favorite, we sample all the great views from San Francisco's central hills, exploiting Mike's years exploring SF on foot to bring you a smorgasbord of hidden stairways, surprising woodsiness, little known neighborhood pathways and even an (optional) block-long slide! The entire loop encompasses every kind of city and park terrain, some quite steep, much flat, for 13 miles and goes from Bernal Hill to Holly Park, Glen Canyon, Mount Davidson, Twin Peaks, Tank Hill, Monument Hill, the Vulcan and Saturn Steps, and Corona Heights with the Castro, Dolores Park and the wild murals of Clarion Alley on the way back to Bernal. This will be the fifth time Mike has led this hike.
