Strawberry Canyon Fire Trail. Near Memorial Stadium on the eastern end of the UC Berkeley campus. The entrance to the Fire Trail is about 1/2 mile up the road from the stadium, on your right, or the south side of the road. The Fire Trail climbs about 300 feet in the first 0.8 mile at which time you will have reached the end of the "lower Fire Trail". The very steep, approximately 30 degree slope, 200 meter segment connecting the lower to upper fire trail, is called "The Connector". Once on the upper Fire Trail you can run from about mile 1 of the Fire Trail to the end at 3.7 miles at the Space Sciences Lab. The upper Fire Trail climbs another 400 feet, mostly gradually, but very steep sections at about 1 mile into the upper part of the trail. Both trails are gorgeous, double track fire roads, through stands of Monterey pine, white fir and redwoods on the lower trail, and open oak woodland for the upper trail.
