The Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association is an organization run by and for about 1000 postdocs and early career scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We organize many activities to strengthen our ties to the Lab, to each other and to the (Berkeley) Bay Area. Our goal is to facilitate social interactions, scientific exchanges, seminars and general orientation.

Hike: San Bruno Mountain on January 11

Dear Hikers,

BLPA is excited to invite you to our first hike of 2025. On Saturday, January 11, 2025, we will climb the San Bruno Mountain south of San Francisco via the Summit Loop Trail and Ridge Trail. This hike is 9.5 miles (15.3 km) long with steep inclines with about 1600 feet (500 m) of elevation gain (for comparison, this total elevation gain is about double the elevation from Downtown Berkeley to the Advanced Light Source). The hike takes on average 4 h 30 min to complete. During nice weather, the trail offers amazing views of San Francisco, Daly City, and the Bay Area.
