East Bay Hills 5 Day Thru-Hike
Explore newly opened parts of the Bay Area Ridge Trail with a 5-day Hike
from Martinez to Castro Valley.
Details: Hikers will cover 35 miles of the Ridge Trail and about 25
additional miles nearby, with opportunities for as many extra miles as you
care to handle! The hike is fully supported, with chef-prepared meals,
evening entertainment, and campsites included. We shuttle your gear
between campsites. You may hike all 5 days, or however many days you would
like.
We will offer BART pick up at the start and drop off at the end of the
ride, but it will also be possible to coordinate vehicle shuttles from
camp to camp.
For pictures from last year's hike, please see the Ridge Trail Council's
Facebook page. For more information on the equestrian ride, visit the
Tilden Wildcat Horsemen's Association website at www.twha.org.
Costs: This event benefits the Bay Area Ridge Trail and other East Bay
trail projects. You may hike all 5 days, or however many days you would
like. The $225 for all 5 days (or $50 per day for fewer than 5 days)
includes camping, food, and entertainment. For visitors, dinner in camp
will be $15/night.
Full 5-day sign-ups will be given priority for spaces until July 15th, so
if you want to hike only part of the hike you will be on a waiting list
until then. This 3rd annual East Bay Hills Trails Benefit hike is being
held in conjunction with the 9th annual East Bay Hills Trails Benefit
Horseback Ride. Together, the two events have raised $120,000 for the
trails in the last eight years.
Volunteers: If you cannot hike, join us to volunteer and help with the
important tasks that will make this event happen.
