01/08 - Redwood to Huckleberry and back

 


For our first walk of 2025, eight of us took a route we've not done since 2021, walking from the Skyline gate to Redwood RP, along the Huckleberry path to Huckleberry Regional Preserve. We had our snacks at the picnic tables there, then continued a CW circuit along lower Huckleberry Path, then the Skyline Tr and so back to the cars. 3.5 miles.

It is a bit tricky to navigate as neither the Huckleberry map nor the Redwood RP map shows the connection, tho each has an arrow to the other.  However it is very clear on a 1991 map I have (Trails of the East Bay Hills, Central Section, published by Olmsted Map Co-Berkeley). The connection from the East Ridge Tr in Redwood has badges for the East Bay Skyline Tr, the Bay Area Ridge Tr, and the DeAnza Tr, but no mention of Huckleberry Preserve. This is one you have to know exists!
