East Bay Secret Stairs, Our first walk

 

We bought this book: http://blog.ouroakland.net/2011/07/books-secret-stairs-east-bay.html

and have embarked on a series of walks through the East Bay (just Oakland and Berkeley really) along urban trails that follow "secret stairs." Our first walk, pictured here, was in Montclair off Thornhill Drive. The walk took us   through 1.2 miles of wooded hills and had 637 steps! Marcello did great, and the dog was super excited to be out with the whole family.
