About the event
Even though this one is just 10 minutes up the road, it feels completely different from hiking in our usual hood. The landscape out here has this raw, untamed feel—long, steady climbs that wind you up through the hills, then drop you into these cool, tucked-away valleys that feel quiet and almost hidden.
We’ll take on the Blue Oak Trail up to Tabletop, a 4.8-mile out-and-back with 1,500 ft of elevation gain. It’s a steady, steep climb that’ll get your heart rate up (hello, legs 🔥), with some beautiful shifts in terrain as we move through the hills. At the top, we’ll pause, catch our breath, and take it all in—there’s a beautiful view stretching out toward the Delta, and it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a quick snack & cool breeze before heading back down.
This is one of those hikes that leaves you sweaty proud!
Please note: Expect mostly open exposure with some shaded pockets, sunscreen and hats are your friend!

Trail: Blue Oak Trail to Tabletop
Please carpool if you can and plan to park in the neighborhood rather than the main lot. And as always—don’t leave anything visible in your car.
We’ll meet, move, climb, and earn those views together—this is your mid-morning reset, your excuse to get outside, feel strong, and start your day a little differently.
