Eventually I reached the closest point on the trail to the point, and looked over towards the point. It was again much steeper than I was expecting, but more importantly much shrubbier. I'd already come far enough that I wasn't giving up now, so I dove in. Eventually I reached the point and took my photos, and then headed out. In all, going the 500 meters or so to the point and back had taken me over an hour.

Location

60 m (200 ft) off the Bay Area Ridge Trail in Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve.

Participants

Plans

Take BART to Richmond, the 74 bus to the foot of the hill, hike up the road and then the trail to the ridgeline. The off-trail hiking to the actual point will probably not be too bad since it's such a short distance.

Expedition

Getting to the base of the hill went pretty straightforwardly. The road up to the entrance to the open space was much steeper than I was expecting, but it still wasn't too bad. The open space was nice and had some good views, even though it was kind of exposed in places and I got a little warm in the sun. Eventually I reached the closest point on the trail to the point, and looked over towards the point. It was again much steeper than I was expecting, but more importantly much shrubbier. I'd already come far enough that I wasn't giving up now, so I dove in. Eventually I reached the point and took my photos, and then headed out. In all, going the 200 meters or so to the point and back had taken me over an hour.
