Welcome to The Black Neighborhood!!

The Black Neighborhood Mental Health Hikes are intended to provide outdoor spaces for black people to practice mental mindfulness within community & nature.

This hike is considered moderate-easy due to slight elevation at some points, and exposure to the sun once above the treeline. 

-This trail is a 2.5 mile loop with great views of Richmond, CA BUT little shade! Will be a great hike to those who have found our recent hikes a bit more challenging. But don’t forget, this is still a hike and a chance to get out and move! WE BLACK OUTSIDE!
