Up the Stairs and Down the Jordan Trail

Leader: John Ford
Where: Corner of Vine and Walnut

This brisk walk of about 10 miles will take between 4 and 5 hours. We will climb some steep steps up to the highest residential street in Berkeley, the aptly named Summit Road, then traverse over to the Lawrence Hall of Science and up the stairs to the beginning of the Jordan Trail, aka the Strawberry Canyon fire trail. The University is clearing vegetation on and around the Jordan Trail, so it is closed for about 6 months, except on Sundays. We will check out the progress. There will be mud.

Bring water and a snack. Food establishments are available when we return to the starting point.  No dogs please. 

Note: Unvaccinated persons must wear masks. We are monitoring mask guidance and will update our website with additional requirements if needed.
