Anyone, Anywhere: OneSky's Kick-Off Hike

From first time hikers to seasoned trekkers, everyone can feel great knowing they are taking steps to raise funds to help marginalized children in OneSky’s programs in Asia by joining Anyone, Anywhere: OneSky’s Global Hike. At OneSky, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, and by hiking for OneSky, you’re hiking to ensure that the vulnerable children of Asia have that opportunity.

If you are joining us on October 5th for our Bay Area kick-off hike at the Lafayette Reservoir, California, there are a few things to know:

We are meeting at the Upper Reserved Picnic Area, adjacent to the Upper Parking Lot. The trail hikes will start and end at this location. Please arrive at the Reservoir and follow signs/volunteers towards the Upper Parking Lot to park. We will be handing out your parking pass as you park. Once you park, make your way to the Registration Table to check-in. OneSky will be at the site as early as 9am if you want to start your day off with a hike. Or if you want to plan your hike around an after-hike ice cream (on us), be sure to plan your hike to be back at the registration area between 11:30am and 1pm. To help you plan, the Loop hike will take about an hour. The Rim Trail hike will take about two and a half hours:

The Loop (~1 Hour Hike)

A leisurely 3-mile hike on a partially shaded paved pathway. There are a few small hills and benches to rest along the way. Suitable for all ages and walking levels.

The Rim Trail (~2.5 Hour Hike)

A moderately difficult 5-mile hike over dirt paths with partial shade and some steep climbs. Suitable for more experienced hikers, feel free to bring your trekking poles.

Don’t forget to take photos* of your event and post them on both your fundraising page as an update and on social media using the hashtag #OneSkyGlobalHike and #AnyoneAnywhereHike.

Get ready to hike! Thank you again for joining us as we continue to support years of transforming young children’s lives through access to nurturing childcare and safe spaces to play and learn. Help us reach 1,000,000 children by 2028.

Registration includes 1 Hike T-shirt and ice cream on us.

Please be aware:

Hot weather this time of year is common. Please check the weather report in advance, and bring appropriate supplies – a water bottle or hydropack to stay hydrated along the trail and a hat for extra shade. Poison oak and yellow jackets are common throughout the region, so please use caution and follow park rules by staying on the trail, and do not reach for or collect plants or leaves.
