Description

This Ridge Trail segment, an excellent outing in hot weather, offers an opportunity to hike or bike up Ritchey Canyon through the woods and alongside a scenic creek. The 1,900-acre park is the furthest inland state park with coast redwoods. There are many route options for a return trip, so be sure to pick up a trail map when you enter the 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.
