Tilden Park in Berkeley. There are many great trail runs in this park, but the one I most commonly run is an 8 mile out and back along the Nimitz trail on the ridge. If the fog has cleared off there are amazing views of the bay and Golden Gate bridge.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.lmjs.org/files/images/nimitz_way_1_0.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

Your favourites either at home or away, or just ones that have tantalized you.<br><br>
Here's mine from this weekend. They've finally finished with trail maintenance on Nose Hill and I have a 9 mile pathway run for the winter when I don't want to run cross-country. It does involve five street crossings though.<br><br><a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1325718" target="_blank">Nose Hill Regional Pathways</a><br><br>
0-.3 uphill<br>
.3 - 1 gradual down<br>
1 - 2.2 steeper uphill<br>
2.2- 3 downhill, at times steep<br>
3- 5.5 uphill, at times insanely so, particularly when on the hill. Trail follows "Many Owls Valley" and at the 5 mile point is pitched at 10% or so.<br>
5.5 - 7.5 (or so) rolling hilltop.<br>
7.5 to home, downhill, at times steep down Porcupine Valley.<br><br>
From home (3770 ft) to highest point (4050 ft), with a couple of 150 or so foot climbs thrown in.<br><br>
Edited to add a panorama of the run down Porcupine Valley. Trail goes from left to right... you can make it out (just).<br><br><img alt="" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b216/Grizzly_/Geocaching2.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">
