Here's a hike that has it all - history, architecture, native plants, natural landscapes, and great views.

We'll begin by exploring historic sites on Berkeley streets with Greenbelt Alliance Board member Bob Johnson. Then we'll gird our collective loins for a hardy climb up Claremont Canyon. After we enjoy the splendid view (and catch our breaths), we'll descend Strawberry Canyon for a scenic walk through the UC campus.
