    Great open space hike with very well defined trails. Be sure to take water and avoid the heat of the day because there is no protection.

    Lovely preserve which is calmer than other parks in the area. Drive up the mountain to get to parking maybe be windy and those who have motion sickness should take note of that
  • By Eugene Bogatyriov
    Great views of the Bay Area. On some points of the trail you could see the Bay Area on one side and the ocean on another.
