Strawberry Vista/Water Tank Hill
Strawberry Vista/Water Tank Hill
Location: Neider Lane to Inez Place
Strawberry Vista truly earns its name, with possibly the most panoramic views in all of Strawberry. From Mt. Tam in the west, to the Berkeley Hills in the east, one can see the northern half of the Bay Area. The crest of the hill is just as beautiful as the vistas. In the spring, the entire hill is covered in violet and yellow from the wild lupine, yellow-eyed grass and deer weed. Two conveniently located benches, make it easy to sit back and enjoy the view. The majority of the path (approximately 320 yards) is over a 12-degree slope, making it a great workout for even the most avid jogger. As the path starts to level off near Neider Way, your greeted by a flush of color from several species of plum trees lining the lower hillside. Laden with fruit in the fall, they attract a myriad of native birds and other wildlife. A truly special place to commune with nature, get a workout, and experience the grandeur of the Bay Area all at once.
