December 14, 2020December 2, 2020October 3, 2020Awesome!
July 18, 2020Probably better in cooler weather. A little smelly now.
June 12, 2020Very smelly! Good views.
June 4, 2020Coyote hills is gorgeous as always. This trail is really great because you get to explore several different elevations. Definitely recommended.
May 31, 2020Excellent trail. This is always my favorite been there 50 times and this was the last in my 31 days 31 hikes mission accomplished. Safe clean beautiful and much more.
May 8, 2020Nice flat trail, but no pets are allowed on the No Name trail! I wish I had known this ahead of time as had to cut the trail short. Overall kind of a general stink in the air, but a good day hike.
April 25, 2020A great way to exercise during shelter in place! It's a bit harder to social distance around noon because it gets a tad crowded, so I suggest that you go earlier. no shade, so bring water and a hat
March 26, 2020Great trail for a nice cool day or a cloudy one. There is no shade on this trail at all so if you plan on coming during the summer make sure you bring a lot of water. Most of the trail is gravel or paved until you get to the incline. The incline is pretty steep so be prepared! Also the parking lot you normally will park in is closed due to COVID-19 or something of the sort so you'll need to park a little farther away and walk on the road to get to the trailhead. Great views of the Bay and the surrounding areas!
February 17, 2020Nice open view
February 17, 2020Great bay view! Not demanding at all, mostly flat.
January 26, 2020January 6, 2020July 6, 2019Nice views after a mile into the hike. It took little over three hours for us to complete this hike. We took the apway -> red hill trail while coming back. Found red hill trail more hard than the apway trail. Would recommend to start as early as possible before the sun gets on you. Would go again !!
April 29, 2019April 20, 2019Dog friendly and beautiful! Check for ticks!
April 5, 2019January 22, 2019Not very pretty for the first 1.5 miles or so then gets quieter and more serene. You can almost forget the city is so near. Good number of steep hills that you can do twice (if you go out and straight back).
September 10, 2017Great trail.
August 14, 2017This was a fun bike ride. The wind was blowing hard toward the south-east as it frequently does. This made the Bayview trail tough sledding. For this reason, I chose to do the loop counter-clockwise to take advantage of the tailwind on the back nine. There is a series of switch backs that takes you up the hill to the Red Hill trail (see my track). Then it's a series of ups and downs akin to riding a roller coaster, which was a blast! And don't forget to stop at the top and take in the views, because they are fantastic! I like when you're going down a steep hill and can see where the path is headed. And better yet there is an uphill on the other side that will slow you down so you don't need to use your brakes at all. The tailwind made coming back on Bayview trail a breeze, literally and figuratively. The recording shows that I topped out at 23 mph, and I was in a middle gear not really pushing hard at all. I did the loop on a Trek 7.2 hybrid with trail tires. A mountain bike would be preferred on Red Hill. You can ride a road bike on Bayview, but I wouldn't recommend it for Red Hill.
