During the month of October, I am challenging myself to hike or walk every other day and do some sort of alternate exercise on the non-walking days. So far, so good.

Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland
This 3.5 mile loop hike is easy, with about 500 feet in elevation
change. Park elevation ranges from about 800 feet to 1500 feet. The featured
hike starts at about 1090 feet, climbs to 1350 feet, and descends to 930
feet before climbing back to the trailhead. There are some steep (but short)
trails, and a few seriously eroded paths can make descents tough.
Directions: from Highway 13, take the Joaquin Miller exit and head east (uphill). Continue on until the second Sanborn drive and park near the Woodminster Amphitheater sign on the street in front of the park's main gate.

Turkey Trot Loop, Piedmont
Start in front of Havens and get ready for stunning architecture and some gentle hills as we walk around Piedmont 3.1 miles on the original Turkey Trot course.
*Starting times are approximate and relate to the start of school plus whatever time is needed to get to the staging area.
