Millions of years before its first human inhabitants arrived, North Berkeley was strewn with fascinating rock formations. Today, the area includes a set of lovely parks where these remnants of its geologic past can be seen. We'll talk about the Native American presence in the area and how the rocks were used by these first inhabitants.

We will walk along the paved Nimitz Way trail for 2 miles and then head up a short but rather steep 0.25-mile fire road to Wildcat Peak. We’ll reach the peak about an hour into the hike and take a long break to watch the sun set and the full moon rise.

Take advantage of a unique opportunity to join a leisurely walk and a conversation with Shoshana O'Keefe, Berkeley District 5 Councilmember. The group will spend the first 15 minutes at the Great Stoneface Park for introductions and initial questions. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are allowed. 

For most Americans, the term “suburbia” conjures single-family homes and uniform architecture in areas that are solely residential and reliant on car transportation. With its array of land uses and architectural styles, North Berkeley defies this stereotype; its differences are the qualities that make it great.
