    It’s no secret that the Trails Club offers over 400 hikes per year at 4 different hiking levels, far more than any hiking club in the Bay Area.

    We need leaders to keep this going.


    Come learn about the array of parks available in the Bay Area, just waiting to be explored. We will teach you how to lead a hike, where the parks are located, where to go in different seasons, how to deal with health issues that occur and introduce you to experienced hike leaders who can mentor you and help you lead your first hike.


    Anne Squire will demo online sources available through our website.


    Bring pen, writing material. Treats will be served!
