BERKELEY, CA — Berkeley's Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve is part of the East Bay Regional Park System, which offers this history, "Round Top, one of the area's highest peaks, is made up of lava and volcanic debris left over from a 10-million-year-old volcano. During the past 10 million years, massive tectonic forces on the Hayward and Moraga earthquake faults uplifted the Berkeley hills, folding bedrock formations and tilting the Round Top volcano complex on its side."

It is also a place of stunning beauty, as Marcella Aguirre-Garcia's photo shows. Thank you for sharing it with Patch readers!
