Strawberry Canyon / Hamilton Gulch / Claremont Canyon Photos

If you like to escape from all the cars without using a car to do so, then you may want to check out the open space in Strawberry Canyon, Hamilton Gulch, and Claremont Canyon in Oakland on the East side of Berkeley.

It's later than it's ever been!
