Grizzly Peak is one of my favorite top hikes in the Berkeley area. There are multiple trail passes to get up to the peak. I used neighborhood parking near the Claremont Hotel. There’s very limited spots, but I got lucky, & found one, it helped that I got there in the early AM. My hike was over 6 miles with 1,600 feet of elevation gain. It was a good workout, as there were some steep parts. The trail was mostly shade and just some sun. It is my favorite because I hike through woods for most of the trail. I saw a lot of different wildflowers, birds, & butterflies. It was very quiet, and there were not that many hikers. The more I climbed up, the better the view got, and the less hikers around me so it’s very peaceful. This is one of the best breathtaking views of the Berkeley Hills, the Bay Bridge, the SF Bay, the GGB, the Richmond Bridge, and even parts of the ocean in the distance. Too bad Grizzly Peak is locked behind a fence due to the tower on top. Anyway, I highly recommend a good pair of hiking shoes, trekking poles, water, some snacks, and sun protection. I plan to come back here at "Dusk" to catch the Sunset and the Lights coming on over the City...

We did the Seaview to Quarry trail loop. This was an excellent trail to hike on. It was a bit rocky so wear good hiking shoes and bring poles if necessary. I recommend poles for this trail. Personally I stumbled on a few rocks during this trail. At the top there is a great view point of the dam and bay area. This is a moderately trafficked route. Doggos are welcome !!!

The trails are somewhat maintained and the views are really nice. Looks like a great place for kids with the merry go round. The bathroom is really clean with normal flushing toilets and a hand dryer. Would have given 5 stars but getting to the park is pretty scary because of all the hills you must traverse.

Went on the Vollmer Peak Trail and it had grand views of the Bay during Sunset. Definitely worth the hike

Are dogs allowed?

Laura Ladisa | Aug 20, 2018
Joanie Chew | Aug 20, 2018

I've seen a couple trails where dogs are not allowed, but those are marked with signage. There's definitely coyotes that roam, so you may want to keep your dog leashed if they tend to roam far on their own.

Hello! Tilden Regional Park doesn't have a ferris wheel, but does have a historical Merry-Go-Round. It is currently closed but will open once it is cleared for safe opening by Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and the East Bay Regional Park District. Thank you for your question!

I've heard there are mountain lions (and possibly bears?) in this area. As a solo hiker, how scared should I be?

Deniz Kent | Aug 19, 2021
Yune Leou-On | Aug 19, 2021

Yeah I agree with Angelique. No bears but rare mountain lions and more common coyotes. I'd also check for ticks (during tick season) after visiting. Additionally, make sure you know what poison oak looks like since it's everywhere. But don't let that discourage you - lots of beautiful birds and wildlife here including deer and turkeys. Loved this park since I was a kid. Enjoy your trip!

as a teenager in Oakland in the early '50's. I recall some caves in the park that we refered to as the dinosaur caves. what can you tell me about them?

John Henson | Aug 20, 2018
Gurpreet Shergill | Aug 20, 2018

Hi John hanson, I remember my friends use to talk about the caves in Tilden park, by the MarygoRound behind the7 restrooms, back in the late 70s when I was in El Cerrito high school. It takes climbing down some 6steep cliffs to get to the caves But I have never gone to see them my self. I believe that area is where Wild Cat Canyon ends, at the Tilden Park. You might want to talk to the park service and hopefully get more info on the caves. Good luck. PreetSS
