The Fages Historic Trail in the hills above Berkeley and El Cerrito commemorates and follows portions of the 1772 Rim of the Bay Hikes (Rim Rovers) The purpose of the RIM OF THE BAY patch program is to encourage hiking and to bring into the lives of our Scouts a "mountain top" experience. There are six Mountains that surround our area that you hike up. When you finish the first mountain you get a patch and a "rocker" with the name of the mountain. Rockers are awarded for each additional hike completed. All of these trips can be accomplished in a single day.http://www.sfbac.org/programs/hiking#rim Elevation Gain 2,517' Hike Length: 6.9 miles round trip (Peak Trail) Elevation Gain: 1,997' Jurisdiction: Department of Parks and Recreation, State of California Hike Length: 7 miles round trip Elevation: 3,849' Elevation Gain: 2,249' Jurisdiction: Department of Parks and Recreation, State of California Hike Length: 8.5 miles round trip Elevation: 2,571' Elevation Gain: 1,081' Jurisdiction: Point Reyes National Seashore Hike Length: 5 to 6 miles (depending on the trail).
