Approximate Total Miles

7.5

Trail Treks, scheduled on the fourth Thursday, provide exercise-focused hikes and opportunities to discover Midpen's beautiful preserves.

Join Docent Naturalists Bobbie Riedel, Nancy Weintraub, and Nick Yatsko for a moderately-paced trek along the length of the restored Alpine Road Trail. You'll start out on the White Oak Trail in Monte Bello Preserve before crossing the road into Coal Creek Preserve for the bulk of the hike. Bring a snack to enjoy before starting the climb back up on your return.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
