From Orinda to Vollmer Peak, 9 miles, 2400 ft elev. gain

We meet at EBMUD De Laveaga trailhead. There is small parking along Camino Pablo st. id this parking will be full, you should be able to find parking along Santa Maria way.
It is good to have EBMUD permit ( https://www.ebmud.com/recreation/buy-trail-permit ). My permit will cover only 4 people.
I visited Vollmer Peak many times , but never reached it from Orinda. Vollmer Peak has fantastic panoramic views , hope weather permits us to enjoy the views.
This hike is comparatively short but with 3.7 miles gradual uphill.
Our route: De La Veaga tr -> Seaview tr ( by he way it doesn't have any sea view ) -> Vollmer peak -> Lupine tr -> Vollmer peak tr -> S park dr( it is closed to cars now) -> Chapparal Peak ( our quick lunch spot) -> Skyline tr -> return by De La Veaga tr
Hike's length and elevation gain is based on Alltrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes , and lunch food.
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages in case you have questions.
Attendance limit - 12. I may add extra 4 hikers based on hiking points.
Hikers who cancel after RSVP closed will get 'NO SHOW', unless they provide reasonable excuse.
