Brush Trail starts along a park road at a trail signpost pointing the way onto Brush Trail.

Entering thin woods, Brush Trail initially is flat as it passes Snell Trail on the left almost immediately. Veering right and climbing gradually, the trees thin, thus providing great views of the Diablo Range hills in the distance to the left/northeast. Dairy Trail is passed at the 0.6 mile mark.

Brush Trail turns left at the Dairy Trail junction as it continues to climb very gradually. The thinning trees are replaced by brush, and finally the trail emerges into grasslands dotted with trees as it reaches its high point around the 0.8 mile mark. From here, the trail travels through grassy meadows as it descends slowly, passing Dutch Flat Trail at the 1.75 mile mark, and then ending at Eagle Trail after 2.25 miles.

Grass hills that are green in the spring, golden in summer and fall. Stands of oak trees, wooded sections, and brushy sections. Deer.
