About the Business
Morgan Territory Regional Preserve is a stunning park and tourist attraction located at 9401 Morgan Territory Road in Livermore, California, United States. The preserve is open between 5am and 10pm, with varying gate hours throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and camping within the 5,323 acres of sandstone hills and valleys. The park boasts over 90 species of wildflowers, diverse wildlife including deer and mountain lions, and expansive views of Mount Diablo, Mount St. Helena, and the Sierra Nevada mountains. The park's trails are named to honor the Native American First People who once lived in the area, as well as natural features and the park's ranching history. Morgan Territory is located within the traditional homeland of the Volvon Native American nation, who resisted Spanish missionization in the 18th century. The park is named after Jeremiah Morgan, a pioneer who settled in the area in the 19th century. Visitors can make reservations for the backpack campsite by calling 1-888-EBPARKS.
Reviews
"If you love to stumble onto pieces and places of native California history and you love seeking out hidden mysteries, you can't do much better than this low key unassuming park. It's out of the way and the landscape is barren until you walk ANY trail and start looking closer at clusters of trees and rocks...hundreds of unmarked, (perhaps unknown?) places allowing one to contemplate with awe how indigenous people lived here before colonization and decimation. Highly recommend, especially for those with unusually open minds and hearts. I wish I could be there to see you seeing this for the first time. If you have gone here and think I am exaggerating, that's OK, go on to the next park, leave this one to us dreamers and lovers of history."
"It's a large park with an extensive trail system, but only a small portion of the trails are easy-moderate. Two small loops that connect to form a figure -8, about 4 miles total. Anything that branches off the main loop is very steep and intense. When we last rode those trails (2020), they were poorly maintained with a lot of cow and tire ruts, making it an unenjoyable ride. If you like intense climbs, hiking or mountain biking, give it a shot. Our family enjoys the easy loops in the main part of the park. Great for family hikes and introductory mountain biking. The park is a bit hard to get to, having to travel on a one-lane road coming from either direction. And the Northern roads are very rough. All in all, we enjoy the park, but it has a very specific purpose for us and we don't go out there often because the effort to get there is high. (Not a great ROI, to use a business term)"
"What a beautiful place. Be sure to stay on the trail or you get in trouble. There are bathrooms and the only place with 4G/5G connection is in the bathroom for some reason. There's an awesome picnic area! This area is very dog friendly, unfortunately."
"Beautiful, rugged hiking trails through a ranching property still complete with cows. Wide, expansive vistas coupled with narrow gorges and lots of spring streams. Amazing spring wildflowers. Dogs on leash, horseback riders welcome. Toilets at the reserve trailhead but otherwise limited facilities and no cell service."
