March 3, 2021Nice easy with great views at the top. Windy
February 21, 2021February 11, 2021Seriously gorgeous east bay hills, complete with lots of cows who love hanging out in the path. the view at the end was fantastic. I went on a drizzly Thursday afternoon, so very few people, but 7/10 were masked.
February 11, 2021GEOLOGY! This loop has some of the best exposures of local geology around. So cool! The hill in the middle is rough but overall a great hike.
January 30, 2021Beautiful trail, not too muddy after the rain. Lots of variations with ups, downs, and flat spots.
January 18, 2021Good one, nice view at the top.
January 17, 2021Moderate to Streneous hike. Beautiful views. Kids Friendly if you dont take Devils Hole.
January 10, 2021January 9, 2021Beautiful views. The declines were very steep, not my favorite
January 5, 2021Should have gone clockwise. Great day with Michael
January 1, 2021December 27, 2020Great view at the summit, however the two star is for any families with little children: the elevation and climb are super hard for little children and it can get really challenging with little ones not willing to make the move. It’s very busy during a Sunday afternoon, the elevation and climb makes it hard to keep the mask on all the time and it’s not convenient to put the mask on and off all the time when there are groups of people coming and going and some of them do not care enough to have their masks. Think twice if you have little children and are not ready for a strenuous hike.
December 27, 2020November 29, 2020November 28, 2020Great trail, good climbs and gorgeous vistas. I cut through on Ridgeview & Cuesta to reduce to a 5 mile loop. Not too crowded on a late Saturday afternoon.
November 15, 2020Fire road, good for an out and back trail run. Some tough hills. Moderate traffic.
November 7, 2020Great!
October 28, 2020Nice views. Not a lot of shade
October 28, 2020Two good sized hills. The second of which is a real burner.
October 11, 2020October 5, 2020September 23, 2020September 6, 2020September 5, 2020It was alright. Got there too early and the park gate was closed. We parked to the side which was closer to the trail but we decided to walk to the start of the trail and backtracked, so we go some extra steps. It’s no5 the prettiest hike but it was interesting to see gold fish in the cattle trough.
August 14, 2020August 8, 2020Went all the way to rock cave area! Amazing!!
August 2, 2020Gorgeous views of Mount Diablo and SF Bay.
June 27, 2020The hike down to Devils Hole and back up is very steep. I would recommend this detour only if you’re trying to get more distance and elevation. For better views I would say stay on the ridge line.
