Description

Within three parks and a watershed property, this route passes through diverse landscapes and takes in far-flung views of the Bay Area. It starts in a shady eucalyptus grove, skirts San Pablo Reser- voir, climbs a wide watershed trail through grasslands to San Pablo Ridge, and then follows a paved ridgecrest trail to Inspiration Point. This is the beginning of a 46-mile contiguous stretch of the Bay Area Ridge Trail to Garin Regional Park.

This trail description is excerpted from the 2019 Bay Area Ridge Trail Guidebook. For details on all trails, trailheads and more buy the book from Wilderness Press.
