Tilden Vollmer Peak hike (and Redwood Valley Railway steam train)
On Feb 22nd we’ll be doing a hike in Tilden Park (in the Berkeley hills).
The hike will take us to Vollmer peak, which is 1.8 miles from the trailhead (thus 3.6 mile round trip).
Elevation gain is under 500 feet and the view at the top should afford us a great view where we can see SF, the bay and surrounding areas.
We anticipate the hike to take about 2 hours, after which time (time permitting) we can optionally take a 12 minute small-gauge train ride through Tilden (https://redwood-valley-
