NEW! BACK TO THE FUTURE: A SHEPHERD CANYON WALK THROUGH HISTORY
Meet at Montclair Recreation Center Parking Lot, 6300 Moraga Avenue Optional lunch in Montclair Village afterwards
* Led by Mike Petouhoff
Come walk a trail that was once a rail route, almost a highway, and narrowly missed becoming a development, now preserved as a bicycle and pedestrian corridor. Hear the colorful story of successful citizen efforts to preserve this historic scenic route: a nexus of transportation history, urban planning and CEQA environmental regulations. Hike gentle grades, woodlands, meadows and an urban village, while enjoying Bay views and historical interpretive signs. A moderate hike.
