A pleasant loop trail that up to Garin peak at 948 ft. Enjoy scenic vistas and hike through a variety of ecological zones. Don't forget to take the kids to the Garin Barn Visitor Center which has a working blacksmith shop
We enjoyed this hike on Father’s day. It’s very maintained and a good portion was in the shade. We had two eight year old girls who didn’t complain once. I think the hike was about an hour and my Apple Watch clocked it as 2.5 miles.
charming loop trail. this was a good time to see wildflowers. some small wooden bridges and small lake. great short hike.
Did a 10 mile hike at this place. It is pretty amazing at this time of the year
Love this trail. Easy enough for all levels. Great views, and the trail is maintained and easy to follow.
1st time on this trail, really like how the variations of different hills to get a workout, also seeing the cows along the way help my kid walk alittle faster.
We really enjoyed the hike with our dog. The trail was in good condition (although we took a wrong turn ones). Very nice
This one was a little harder than I expected but I liked the challenge.
Pretty good trail; just enough elevation. Was hoping that it loops back around but you just have to follow the same trail back. The photos I uploaded pretty much tells you why it's called Dry Creek trail.
GOOD PLACE
Fun hike. Very easy with little elevation change. As the name implies, a creek ran through a lot of the trail There was even a section where you had to cross it to continue.
Great views from the tops of the hills. The only issue would be cow pies. Lots of cow pies.
Pretty nice trail, the road is unpaved, so you shoes will get really dirty and heavy by stick with wet clay. And for me, I don't think it is moderate, pretty easy to finished.
The area was really pretty and green after all the recent rain. It was quiet and had lots of different views. There wasn't a lot of signage or maps to the entrance of the trail.
great uphill hiking trails and beautiful scenery
Nice loop with a lot of other connecting opportunities to make a much longer hike. Very dog friendly.
Nice views on the 6 mile High Ridge trail. Decent climb. Ran into some cows. $5 parking but so many trails you can spend the whole day there. Dog friendly.
Nice views
Beautiful views and gradual grades. Nice and easy hike.
A great trail for views and dogs. Half along a wooded creek half along a ridge top with views. dogs can be off leash away from the developed areas.
nice place. suitable for family hiking.
This place is wonderful and so close to home! There are beautiful views and it feels like you are on an adventure once you get deep into the heart of this trail with different ways in and out of this park. Every time I come it's never too crowded and there is plenty of parking.
Very isolated place with many snakes. We saw two different snakes on our walk. Very hot in summer.

This is a diverse trail! Fairly easy to hike in most parts. Lots of shade in the bottom trails, as you begin to climb the hills there are less trees & cool patches. There are bathrooms and picnic areas near the parking area. LOVE THIS TRAIL, would definitely trek it again & often!
One of my favorite and regular hikes since I live in Union City. I enjoy doing the High Ridge Loop trail because it provides a mix of ascent and descent. Make sure to bring lots of water!
