Pac Striders May 7, 8:45am - MacDonald Gate, Redwood Regional Park

We thought we'd change it up this weekend and start from MacDonald Gate in Redwood Regional Park. Bring some water for the trails, which connect all the way to Anthony Chabot if you're feeling really adventurous (don't think I'll be headed quite that far, but I can certainly point the way!).

DIRECTIONS: Redwood Rd. can be accessed from Highway 13 in Oakland. From Highway 24 or the Berkeley area take Highway 13 south and take the Redwood Rd. exit. Take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp and continue up the hill on Redwood Rd. From Dublin/ Castro Valley, take I-580 west to the exit for Highway 13 north. Take the Redwood Rd./Carson Ave. exit and proceed straight on Mountain Blvd. Turn up the hill at the stop sign to proceed to Redwood Rd. Take a right at the next light to continue up the hill on Redwood Rd. After you cross Skyline Blvd. at the top of the hill, MacDonald Staging area is about 2 miles on your right.
