About us
Want to hike with others but cannot meet early in the am or hike for 4-6 hours? Do you find yourself hanging in the back of the pack with the sweep on other meetup hikes? Then, this is the group for you!
We are slower walkers (25-30mins per mile) that like to enjoy the scenery and the company. It’s more than just exercise and getting through the route as fast as you can. Walking in nature clears your mind and allows you to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.
Our hikes will usually be 3 to 5 miles in Contra Costa and Bay Area. Explore the trails with us! All ages welcome.

Crockett Hills to Port Costa Hike
Eckley Pier, 5700 Eckley Rd, Crockett, CA, 94525, CA, USJoin Randy on a scenic hike in the Crockett hills along the the Bull Valley and Carquinez Loop Overlook Trail to Port Costa. About 4+ miles, 600ft elevation. It should be a nice day, with partly sunny skies, and temperatures in the mid 70s. Enjoy magnificent views of blue water of the Carquinez Strait to the north, and rolling hills of Crockett to the south. We'll stop in the quaint village of Port Costa for about a half hour lunch stop at the benches and tables. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome.
Meet in the parking lot at Eckley Pier in Crockett. Make sure to go to the bottom of the hill (not the first parking lot at the top of the hill). There is a restroom (of sorts 😂) at the hike starting point.
You may call or text Randy at 925-518-8439 if you have a question or problem.
