Features Birding · Views · Wildflowers

This loop provides a nice mixture of rolling grassland and evergreen forest. One can see some views of the bay from the top hill. In spring when there was enough rain during winter there are numerous patches of wildflowers on the side of the trail.

This trail starts from a small parking lot with only 7 spots. Come early in the morning during the week-end if you want to park here.

From the parking lot you'll first go through a shaded trail pretty much flat for half a mile. Then you'll go up the hill under the tree and will arrive in a opened area from where yo start to discover the view of the bay. After 1.5 mile you are at the top and it goes down from here. At 2.5 miles there is another hill that will finish gently the hike.
