Pac Striders Sept 28, 8:45 am - Grass Valley, Chabot Regional Park

We're taking a rare trip to the northern side of Chabot Regional Park, gathering first at the Grass Valley staging area. Rolling hills await those who wish to take on the full 9 mile route, which snakes up the Columbine trail, through the Chabot campgrounds, and down the Brandon Trail. Water is available near the start and at the campgrounds midway, but bring a bottle for the stretches in between.

DIRECTIONS: From the east (Dublin/Castro Valley), take I-580W towards Oakland and exit at 98th Avenue/Golf Links Road. Turn right on Golf Links Road. Golf Links Road becomes Grass Valley Road. Continue straight through a row of eucalyptus trees and park at the staging area (where Grass Valley and Skyline Blvd. intersect).

From the west (Berkeley/Oakland), take I-580E towards Hayward/Stockton and exit at 98th Avenue/Golf Links Road. Turn left on Golf Links Road. Golf Links Road becomes Grass Valley Road. Continue straight through a row of eucalyptus trees and park at the staging area(where Grass Valley and Skyline Blvd. intersect).
