    Running

    One of the most beautiful panoramic view locations in reasonable jogging distance from Berkeley to see the entire Bay and Golden Gate.

    Running

    Wildcat Peak has been one of my favorite places to run before the sunrise for many years. It's great in the dark / before dawn because the trails are runnable and there's even the option of the paved Nimitz Way – under a full moon you don't even need a headlamp. Once at Wildcat Peak I love to look out to Mt Tampalpais to the west and Mt Diablo to the east .... one of the few places in the Bay Area where you can see the summits of both without obstruction.
    A lovely climb with a view of the bay but also of the water reservoir
