The Place is beautiful and worth visiting, but please beware of possible car burglary (broken windows) at moon gates parking place. Our car and several others had the passenger seat window broken when we were back, around 5 pm on a Saturday (08/08/20). Its a shame but try to park somewhere with more people around...
Easy access to Redwood Park, less crowded than main entrance on Skyline.
This is the prettiest walk in the Oakland hills. During the summer, when its dry out, you can go there at dusk and the fog rolls in and sprinkles rain. Goats graze on the hillsides, eating the grass and brush to keep the fire danger low. And the big silver silo of the Chabot Space & Science center juts out of the redwoods and looks futuristic.
I love this entrance as it skips the way crowded Skyline Gate and you can immediately drop down into the canyon away from the crowds on the ridge trails.
Great outdoor area for walks, runs, and biking. Well maintained and stunning.
Awesome but the waves are to strong !
Its a less popular gate that usually has parking.
Convenient entrance and parking here. Many trails in these beautiful woods.
Great entry point in to Redwood Regional! All downhill to start so the hike out is work, but feels less crowded than some other gates.
Beautiful place for a modest hike/walk. You can head towards Skyline staging area or walk toward the Chabot Observatory and Roberts park. Either way is great walk with gorgeous views.It can get a little muddy after the rains so choose your trails wisely unless youre wearing the proper hiking gear.
Awesome trail,great switch backs,downhill,singletrack.steep,offset,lumps,in the road,cliffs at every turn,people walk and jog on this trail.get going!!!
Beautiful trail! There are lots of fun paths to choose from. There was ample parking near the start of the trailhead
Favorite hike!
Good trailhead, limited parking though. Be careful where you park though some of the locals will call if you are parked out of line.
Beautiful trails
Absolutely amazing trails! Dog friendly and views of red woods are fantastic. The drive there was almost as beautiful as the hike.
Best hike in the bay area
I love this trail.
Awesome little place to park
So many dogs! : )
Well maintained
Good forest trails, kinda hard. A bit crowded depending on the trail you use. A good choice for a hot day since most of it is shadowy
Decent number of parking spaces. Not my favorite entry to the park.
Awesome trails, good uphill trails that will make you happy if you like a workout. Moderate difficulty, print out a map or acquire one before hand.
Great place to park and access west ridge trail.
Super hike with the super dogs
Great off leash dog walking. Many good walking and running trails.
My favorite access point to Redwood Regional Park. Ive never had trouble parking even though the lot is small. Also, there are no bathrooms so plan accordingly.
Beautiful trailhead with many options for trail length. Redwoods, streams, mini waterfalls, and vistas
Great starting point for a lot of the best trails in Redwood Regional.
Great for when it is hot,drop right down into french & stream trails
Small parking lot, only a few steps to a little park bench and view of the Valley
Beautiful!
Lots of cool hiking!
