Join Bob Johnson, co-author of Berkeley Walks, for a jaunt in the Solano-Northbrae neighborhood. The area of the walk was intended as the location of the state Capital but Berkeley lost the vote to move it from Sacramento in the 1908 election. Subsequently, an attractive residential area was developed that includes the Marin Circle and homes designed by leading architects such as Julia Morgan, as well as numerous rock outcrops, paths and stairways, views and attractive gardens. This 2.2-mile walk, with about 370 feet of elevation gain, will be mainly on paved paths and sidewalks but with an option to climb up Indian Rock for the view.
