Awesome trail. absolutely nothing challenging. slight gradient and wide well-groomed trail all the way up. perhaps rated moderate simply for the length? This trail is a geologic wonderland. And...

Ideally, go on a cloudless and clear day when the winds have cleared out the Santa Clara Valley and beyond. You can see downtown San Fran, Mt Tamalpais, Monterey Bay, Mt Hamilton and beyond. Bring...

I found Mount Umunhum as one the best and well managed trails in the Bay Area. We started early in the morning by 7 AM and were among the first ones to reach the top. Total hike time was around 3.5 hours. You can see the whole of South Bay and a part of Pacific Ocean view from the top. The trail is mostly under the shade, those who love forest views would definitely enjoy this. Also while returning I noticed mostly families were hiking with the kids so I definitely recommend this trail as a family hiking trail. Note: The parking is limited though so I recommend carpool specially during weekends (if not always).

Very nice trail with lots of shade. Park at Bald mountain parking lot and it is total 8 miles hike to the top and back. It has some elevation gain but not very challenging so good candidate for a family hike. Smell and colors of the endemic plants are something to note. I went in a foggy day and the hike between the clouds was marvelous.
