Superb earthen trail with good workout and astonishing sunset views. Look on both sides of the trail to see the beauty of nature in different colors as the sun sets

2018-Apr: Nice open and scenic semi-wild gentle hill top trail in middle of San Ramon. The entire trail is not completely open yet, as there is still a barbed wire fence and overgrown section impeding travel near the north end, towards Bollinger Canyon Road. When completed, I expect the trail to travel the Ridgeline all the way from Old Ranch Road to Bollinger Canyon Road. Even as it is, it makes a nice getaway hill top stroll or hike, feeling remote enough to be away from hustle and bustle of city life below, and refreshed as the wind blows across your face and watching the sun sink lower to the western horizon. You can see Mt Diablo to north and Wiedemann Hill to West. Hawks and Turkey Vultures overhead, maybe a rabbit or two along trail... Overall a great place close to town for a evening walk.UPDATE 2019-Jun-29: At the barb wire fence on north end, a new gate has been installed, and hikers can now open go thru easily, so I guess it’s a fully open trail now. The north end is still slightly comparatively overgrown at spots, but not bad. Need more foot traffic I guess.UPDATE 2019-Jul-06: If you can look past the the modern “blemishes” to the view: power lines and electrical towers, and accept the invasive plants of cow trampled grasslands, then there is a sort of special magical feeling along the top of ridge line, especially in the golden hours around sunset or sunrise. The views are open, far reaching and expansive. You can see all of San Ramon Valley on one side of the ridge or the other, with Mt Diablo to the north, Calaveras Ridge to the West, Pleasanton and Amador Valley and Rose Peak range to the south, Windermere and Highland Ridge to the East.... You’re standing in the center of San Ramon Valley, yet there is still a good element of wild openness in the immediate surroundings. Be thankful for the remaining open space here along the ridge tops....

Decent trail, no trees, and super crowded during COVID-19.

Beautiful trail, you can see houses on both sides yet you are far away !

This place doesn’t exist anymore. Taken over by residential development. Rather go to the beautiful Bishop Ranch Regional Preserve (Park), which is nearby in San Ramon.

A nice hike in the middle of San Ramon.

This trail boasts good views of both San Ramon and Tassajara valleys
