There is about 3 ways up the Hill from here. Awesome views once you get up the Hill a. Are a lot of options also.
I liked it because its a trail I hadnt taken before. Relatively warm because of the east facing topography blocking the wind. Great views! Found an apricot tree growing wild...30 footer! Crazy to think what this place would look like 100 years ago when John Muir was around. Must have been incredible.
Need a pair of good hiking shoes, lot’s incline ...bring a hiking stick.....Fresh air, great exercise, then award you some great views .....love it!
Cool hiking trailhead is in this parking area. Scenic views of the bridge and straight. Rolling hills with a little bit of incline, but not too much. Mountain line territory as stated on the entrance signs. I went in the evening and saw several owls, a handful of young deer, and many other birds. Parking lot was empty when I went (weekday evening). Free entry. Free parking. They do shut the gates at sunset - but you can still leave as long as you are already parked inside the lot. Signs stated a 10pm curfew for the entire park area.
Its like being in another time and place.
Unfortunate loss of some now native eucalyptus trees but well maintained... One more star for a good drinking fountain.
Great hiking area, along side road park look out onto the Bay.
The trail is steep, overgrown, only minimally maintained, and has lots of Poison Oak...
Love taking of the four trailheads up the hill and beyond...many options including going all the way to Port Costa.
Beautiful trees. Scenic view from hilltop.
Great views, good trails!
Its amazing
Peaceful and quiet
