Niles Canyon Stroll & Roll 2022: Photos Of The Week

FREMONT, CA — The fourth annual "Niles Canyon Stroll and Roll" was May 1, a community, no-car event that opens the scenic stretch of Niles Canyon Road, between Fremont and Sunol, to cyclists and walkers.

"Stroll & Roll" was started in 2015 by Alameda County Supervisors Richard Valle and Scott Haggerty, in an effort to promote an initiative to create a Class 1 Trail through Niles Canyon, according to officials.

This year's event, held for the fourth time in six years due to the pandemic, marked awareness of a proposed new trail through the canyon that would expand public access to the forests, historic landmarks and vistas of Alameda Creek, organizers said.

On hand were staff and volunteers from from Alameda County and East Bay Regional Park District, along with the Fremont Police Deartment.
