Leader: Tamara Gurin

Where: 1200 Euclid Ave (in front of the Rose Garden sign) (Parking on Euclid is limited to 2 hours, but we will return to the Rose Garden in less than 2 hours.)

Distance and Duration: 3 miles / about 1.5 hours

This will be a brisk, strenuous walk from the Rose Garden up to Tilden Park. We will take several stairways (Tamalpais, Covert, Whitaker, Stevenson, Stoddard) to Grizzly Peak Blvd and then catch Selby Trail at the junction with Shasta Road. We will return to the Rose Garden via several other paths and stairways (Atlas, Glendale, and Glendale La Loma Park). If you're new to wandering the paths, please note that they have LOTS of stairs so they are sure to get our hearts going. If you hate taking the stairs when the escalator is out, this hike is NOT for you.

Total elevation gain/loss is about 800 ft., including about 1000 stairs. In wet weather, steps and trails may be slippery. Bring extra layers as it may be windy and cold in the hills. Heavy rain cancels.

Unvaccinated walkers should wear masks. Please stay home if you’ve had a known exposure or have any symptoms!

Bring water, comfy walking shoes, and snacks to fuel up along the way if you'd like.

Kids are always welcome on Path Wanderers hikes as long as their parents/guardians have read the event description and have determined that this would be a fun experience for their kids..

Dogs are welcome on this hike as long as they are kept on leash at all times since there may be people in the group that are not comfortable around dogs.
