Each year the East Bay Regional Park District holds an event known as the Trails Challenge. Park staff and volunteers write descriptions of their favorite trails, which are compiled into a booklet featuring the top 20 trails for that year (see www.ebrp.org). In honor of the (now long past)10-year anniversary of Trails Challenge, I have placed caches on five of the featured trails.
This cache is along the Crown Beach shoreline trail. Robert Crown Memorial Beach runs along the Bay in Alameda, extending from the Crab Cove Nature Center on one end, to the Elsie Roemer bird sanctuary on the other. The trail is paved and flat. On-lead dogs are welcome (as long as they stay off the beach). The hike to this cache is suitable for young kids but use your judgment for the find location. The cache is close to the trail. No need to climb or turn over rocks but you may have to do some reaching. Try to be sneaky when finding and replacing the cache: there are often a lot of people around. The cache is small, so bring only small items to trade.
