Description

Located in the East Bay, this hiking trail offers a challenging yet rewarding experience with its elevation gain and stunning views of the bay area. While not all parts of the trail are shaded, it is recommended to wear a cap or hat for sun protection. Despite being less busy on a Friday evening, the area provides a breathtaking overlook of the San Francisco North Bay area, including Oakland, San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz.

Just be cautious of skaters and bikers on the mountain road. Overall, this is a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a picturesque adventure.
