“The name “Carquinez Strait” sounds like somewplace foreign and exotic…the waterfront at Carquinez Strait is far less known…It’s the meeting place of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, where they join together to flow to the Pacific Ocean through the Golden Gate….The bluffs above the Carquinez Strait are a wonderful place for an easy hike.”

 

My Stats

Total Distance: 1.5 miles round trip

Time: 28.22 minutes

Elevation: 240 to 306 ft

Elevation Gain: 102 ft

This was the easy hike I was looking for because of a slightly sprained ankle.  Very easy, pretty, and a much different view compared to my latest hikes.
