Description

Gradually climb over grassy hillsides and through oak woodlands and conifer forests on the east side of Bennett Mountain. This is an extremely popular mountain-biking route that travels along wide, rocky service roads and singletrack trails. Pass lush Ledson Marsh and descend through a conifer forest in the park's southeast corner. The west- and south-facing slopes can be hot in summer; north and east-facing slopes are forested. The 2017 Nuns Fire burned through most of the trail corridor except for a few miles of the northernmost section.


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.
