*Note different start time
The Hamilton section of the Bay Trail skirts the old runway of this former Air Force base, which has returned to its original wetland state. The trail is flat and accessible as it borders San Pablo Bay. This is an out and back walk—you walk as far as you like before returning to our start. You will find neat little lookout areas along the way, with benches and informative panels that tell you all about the bird life in the area as well as the wetland restoration project. They even have stationary binoculars so you can look at the wildlife in the wetlands. The views are stunning, with Mt. Burdell to the north, Mt. Tam to the south and Mt. Diablo to the east.

Here's directions for where to meet for May walk at Hamiliton.  

To get there, take Highway 101 to the Ignacio Boulevard/Bel Marin Keys exit. If you're coming from the south, turn right onto Nave Drive; from the north, cross the freeway overpass and then turn right onto Nave. Follow Nave Drive to Main Gate Drive where you'll turn left into Hamilton. Continue on Main Gate Drive which will become Palm Drive. Turn right on Hangar Drive. Look for hangars 5 and 7 and park in the lot. Meet at 11:30 at the entrance ramp to the hiking trail. This is between Hangars 5 and 7.
