While yours truly will be running over the GG Bridge at the Across the Bay 12K (barring an Orange alert), Mike will be offering a tour of the ever familiar Skyline Gate. Last I checked, he's hinting at doing a little bit of the Dunn and Graham trails over by West Ridge, a variation we haven't done in a while. So, figure at about an 8 mile loop.
TRAIL MAP: http://www.pacificstriders.com/data/maps/redwood1.html
DIRECTIONS: Skyline Gate is located off of Hwy. 13. This highway is accessible via I-580 and Hwy. 24. From I-580 or Oakland, take Hwy. 13 North. Exit at Park Street.Turn left at Mountain Blvd. Turn right on Snake Rd. Continue straight onto Shepard Canyon Rd. Turn right on Skyline Blvd., and drive straight to the Skyline Gate parking lot on the left.
From Berkeley or Hwy. 24, take Hwy. 13 South. Exit at Moraga Ave/Montclair District. Moraga Ave. becomes Mountain Blvd. Turn left on Snake Rd. Continue straight onto Shepard Canyon Rd. Turn right on Skyline Blvd., and drive straight to the Skyline Gate parking lot on the left.

Pac Striders Weekend Run, Sun Mar 19, 8:30, Skyline Gate
Hi Everyone,
We'll leave from a familiar staging area, but we're going to mix things up a bit after that. West Ridge, down Graham, up Dunn and Baccharis back to West Ridge, continuing out WR to Bridle to Stream and back to Skyline Gate. Nine miles by the map, more hill than the usual 9 mile loop, but many variants and shortcuts available.
DIRECTIONS: Skyline Gate can be reached from the Park Ave. exit off Highway 13 in Oakland. Heading north on 13, turn left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp onto Mountain Blvd. Turn right at the third light onto Snake Rd. Heading south on 13, take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp onto Park Ave., a left at the light onto Mountain Blvd., and a right onto Snake Rd. Proceed on Snake Rd. and go straight onto Shepherd Canyon Rd. where Snake takes a sharp left. Proceed up Shepherd Canyon (watch for the sharp hairpin right) until you reach a five way intersection at which you have a stop sign. Turn right onto Skyline Blvd. and look for the Skyline Gate parking lot 0.5 miles on your left.Have a good weekend,Mike
