Jenny Hammer led a wonderful Trail Trekker hike, “It’s Our Fault,” this past Saturday, that explored the Hayward Fault as it makes its way through the El Cerrito Hills and East Richmond Heights.
At one point, as we were talking about and looking at several homes that sit directly above the fault, the owner of one home nearby joined the discussion.
And then, in a special, unexpected treat of the sort that often occurs on Trekker hikes, we were warmly welcomed into and visited the beautiful Gyuto Foundation Tibetan Buddhist monastery, where we not only admired the Tibetan art and gardens — but were able to see how the reinforced concrete building has been pulled apart by the tectonic forces associated with our very own Hayward Fault. Jenny had arranged the visit in advance, of course! One bit of good news about this hike is, we plan to repeat it and will add more and different aspects. We’re not sure of the date for “It’s Our Fault: Redux” but you can keep apprised of this and our other upcoming hikes by signing on to our email list or by joining El Cerrito Trail Trekkers. Both can be done from our website, ectrailtrekkers.org).
