On Thursday, I decided to try walking to Montclair Village via Shepherd Canyon Road and the Montclair Railroad Trail. The distance from our house to the Oakland Library branch in the village is 2.9 miles and takes about 60 minutes on the downhill journey and about 10 minutes more on the return trip.
Scenes from the walk:

| The scenic road that is part of my walk was saved in the 70's from becoming a highway. |
 |
The trail part of my route was built on the rail bed of the Sacramento Northern Railway.
From 1912 to 1957 passenger and freight trains ran between
Oakland and Chico, California |

The last leg of the walk. Parts of Shepherd Canyon Road
are even steeper than our driveway (shown here). |
