Grizzly
Peak
is
one
of
my
favorite
top
hikes
in
the
Berkeley
area.
There
are
multiple
trail
passes
to
get
up
to
the
peak.
I
used
neighborhood
parking
near
the
Claremont
Hotel.
There’s
very
limited
spots,
but
I
got
lucky,
&
found
one,
it
helped
that
I
got
there
in
the
early
AM.
My
hike
was
over
6
miles
with
1,600
feet
of
elevation
gain.
It
was
a
good
workout,
as
there
were
some
steep
parts.
The
trail
was
mostly
shade
and
just
some
sun.
It
is
my
favorite
because
I
hike
through
woods
for
most
of
the
trail.
I
saw
a
lot
of
different
wildflowers,
birds,
&
butterflies.
It
was
very
quiet,
and
there
were
not
that
many
hikers.
The
more
I
climbed
up,
the
better
the
view
got,
and
the
less
hikers
around
me
so
it’s
very
peaceful.
This
is
one
of
the
best
breathtaking
views
of
the
Berkeley
Hills,
the
Bay
Bridge,
the
SF
Bay,
the
GGB,
the
Richmond
Bridge,
and
even
parts
of
the
ocean
in
the
distance.
Too
bad
Grizzly
Peak
is
locked
behind
a
fence
due
to
the
tower
on
top.
Anyway,
I
highly
recommend
a
good
pair
of
hiking
shoes,
trekking
poles,
water,
some
snacks,
and
sun
protection.
I
plan
to
come
back
here
at
"Dusk"
to
catch
the
Sunset
and
the
Lights
coming
on
over
the
City...
