Meet @ Lake Anza parking lot (Tilden Regional Park, Berkeley). Hare off 1:15pm, pack off 1:30pm
It's going to be an excellent weekend for a hash! Since the 26.2mi trail was postponed, there is no excuse not to make it to EBH3 on Sunday!
I can not lie to you - there is poison oak in Tilden. On the turkey trail, it is fairly easy to step around it. It's a little harder, but not impossible, to avoid on the eagle trail. Definitely recommend shiggy socks!
True eagle trail is just under 7 miles, true turkey trail just under 5. Both trails feature a clear downhill with a breeze, views and minimal PO. Yeah, I've been lowkey searching for this trail for months and just found it last week. Neither trail is stroller friendly, dogs on leash permitted for all of the turkey, but dogs are not supposed to go on part of the eagle.
Trails stay off pavement as much as possible. If you like hiking poles you will have opportunity to use them, but nothing too technical.
2 beer checks, one is up high and early, the second is a Special Drink Check provided by Backhoe. It will be ADA Accessible, and a possible bailout for the last 1.1 miles of trail, though I don't recommend missing that section!
On In!
