Airports
San Francisco International Airport
Pro: More airlines fly into SFO. Con: Further from event.
Pro: Closer to El Cerrito (no bridge) Con: Mainly a Southwest Airlines hub.
Both SFO and Oakland have direct BART (subway) service to El Cerrito. We can pick you up from the BART station at El Cerrito Del Norte (Sat/Sunday) or El Cerrito Plaza (on Friday). Both stops are on the Richmond line. We cannot offer airport rides.
Rides coordinator: David. Please email [email protected] with ROUND UP RIDE in the subject of the message.
Train
If you are coming from Washington, Oregon, or Los Angeles, you might consider taking the Coast Starlight train and getting off at Richmond or Berkeley/Emeryville. (Richmond is closer; Emeryville is nicer.)
Hotels
We recommend the Hotel Mira Vista (formerly Super 8) which is very close to the Round Up. There are many other options for places to stay. Lyft and Uber rides are available at all times should you be staying a bit farther away.
Hotel Mira Vista

Mention Hillside Community Church event. There may (or may not) be discounts. It depends on availability. We will have a shuttle for an hour from the hotel to the Round Up in the mornings 8:45-9:45a, in the evening on Sat and at the end on Sunday, if needed.
Airbnb
We’re Grey Sheeters, so it’s always a good thing to stay in a place with a kitchen. Check Airbnb El Cerrito for available houses. If you know other people who are coming, talk to them about renting a house together.
