Description

Greenbelt Alliance is going to the dogs (and the volcanos) on this canine-friendly nature walk in Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve. Ten million years ago, a geologic convergence called the “triple plate junction” produced the volcanic features seen in the park today. But what strange convergence of forces produced the park’s stone labyrinths? Canine detectives are on the case! Everyone is welcome (dogs optional). TOTAL DISTANCE This is a moderate three-mile loop with a few hundred feet in elevation change. LEADERS Ken Lavin and Daniela Ades. WEATHER POLICY Rain cancels. COST Free, RSVP required. WHERE TO MEET We’ll assemble at the main park entrance off Skyline Boulevard in Oakland. There are restrooms at our meeting spot. NOTES Bring snacks, water, hiking poles (if you normally use them), and leash (if bringing a dog); wear layers and good hiking shoes. East Bay Regional Park District rules allow dogs off-leash in much of the park, provided they are in sight and under voice command. However, dogs must be leashed within 200 feet of developed areas. If you have any questions about this outing, contact Ken Lavin at [email protected] or 415-543-6771 x321. About the LeadersKen Lavin is Outings Coordinator for Greenbelt Alliance.
