Total Driving Distance (round trip): 

  33 miles (SF)

  8 miles (Rockridge BART)

Carpool Fees (per passenger): 

  $10 (SF)*

  $2 (Rockridge BART)

*Includes bridge toll.

Shorter Hike Option:  After lunch, instead of going back down Huckleberry and climbing back up Sibley there is a short cut that will take some of the distance off... and more so the elevation.  I had a few hikers elect to take this option the last time I led this hike. This short cut probably brings the hike down to a Level 3 hike.  You don't need to let me know a head of time if this is what you want to do... but if you do have any questions that you would like answered now, feel free to contact me.

Note:  I'll reach out to those registered who have indicated that they need a ride or can take passengers.  If you want to contact me for whatever reason, please do so before Friday @ 3:00 PM the day before the hike.
