Like all the regional parks in Oakland, this is a beautiful wild space. As a woman I have not felt comfortable here alone, but I love to hike here with my friends. more »

This was a highly shaded and very narrow path trekking course with lots of slopes and tree tunnels. When walking the path, one side is next to a cliff, but don’t worry it’s safe. Overall it was a very beautiful scenery.

Norcal scrub & forest. Plenty of both shade & light. Incredible views. Most longer trails have significant steep portions. Drinking water & bathrooms at staging grounds. Can be very hot in the warmer months, but again: Plenty of shaded options.
