About This Trail

Imported description

It's a favorite weekend hike, with amazing views of San Francisco, Oakland and the Bay. The upper Strawberry Canyon fire trail leads to the lower Strawberry Canyon trail, which leads to Panoramic Hill from the Claremont Hotel. The quote says "around the perimeter of Strawberry Canyon, back to the upper fire trail, then back down the north side of the canyon." It's nice at sunrise or sunset when there is thick fog.
