Your hike leader Brandon Brédo  shown here with his wife and hiking companion, Michelle.
 After organizing hikes throughout Sonoma County for two decades, intrepid hikers Bill Myers and Dave Chalk retired in May 2020. They built a community of hikers who deeply appreciate our local parks, enabling them to safely explore new trails, enhance their health and create new friendships.

Many folks still recall “Bill & Dave Hikes” fondly and have expressed an interest in their return. We thank Regional Parks for carrying on the Bill & Dave tradition, and starting in summer 2024, the torch had been passed to the Parks Foundation. 
 
The Parks Foundation will now host Bill & Dave Legacy Hikes, and we are thrilled to announce our new hike leader: Brandon Brédo! Brandon had an illustrious career as a Regional Parks ranger for 18 years and currently manages a Sonoma Valley organic farm.  
 
We’re thrilled to have Brandon bring his hiking guide expertise, knowledge of natural and cultural history, and wilderness first aide skills to these outings.
 
The Bill & Dave Legacy Series will typically offer a 4-7 mile hike at a Regional Park one weekend day or weekday per month, with occasional other special activities.

Our plans for summer and fall 2024 will include hikes at Hood Mountain Regional Park & Preserve, Mark West Regional Park & Preserve, North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park & Preserve, Taylor Mountain Regional Park & Preserve and other popular parks.
​
​You must contribute to the Bill & Dave Legacy Hiking Club with an individual donation of $20/month or a household donation of $30/month to be invited on the outings. Donations benefit the Bill & Dave Legacy Fund and compensate our hike leader.
