EBH Event Details
- Registration for each day includes 3 daily meals (vegetarian options at all) and campsites for Hikers and Equestrians. Meals are available from Wednesday breakfast through Monday lunch.
- Camping gear for the hikers is shuttled between the first two campsites for you, so that only a daypack is required on the hikes.
- Equestrians can count on shuttle rides between the camps so that they can both ride and move their trailers on the 2 days when we move from one camp to the next.
- Evening programs will be both educational and fun: music, naturalist presentations, stargazing and equestrian demonstrations.
- The famous V-O-Cal Shower tents will be set up at the first two locations.
- The Roberts Park swimming pool is open on Thursday and Friday very close to our campsite.
- Live music
- Star-gazing through smaller and larger telescopes at nearby Chabot Observatory is available on Friday, with evening programs, including a naturalist and other speakers and an equestrian performance, on the other nights.
- Our raffle guarantees prizes for anyone with a raffle ticket, and our silent auction features great bargains every year.
- On Thursday and Saturday We will help arrange car-pools to assist hikers who need to move their cars when we hike from camp to camp. Our volunteers will be on hand to shuttle drivers back to the start of their Ridge Trail ride between camps after the riders move their trailers.
- Youth Hikers and Equestrians (under 18) can join with an adult participant at 60% discount using the code: EBHYOUTH
- Discount code is not applicable for 5 or 6-Day ticket.
