Reviews
"Very warm, no fifth star due to the trail marker being almost covered by tall grass. Really kind of picky. But might confuse some hikers. Also due to excessive rain up hill trail was covered by large rocks creating greater than normal need to be careful with foot placement. Not sure of the rules but saw ATV tracks; might be ranchers tending to livestock? Trail was very wash board-y too."
"Wonderful place in San Ramon. We like to take bollinger creek trail up to trampas peak. Rocky Ridge loop trail and Elderberry trail will give you a great view of the Bay on a clear day."
"Great place for hikers. There are multiple trails from under 2 miles - 10 miles(moderate-difficult). Very windy on top of the mountains. Steep rolling mountains with beautiful views. I recommend carrying water, snacks and sunscreen."
"My favorite trails were closed on the east side of Las Trampas Regional Park due to repairs needed on the trails to make them safe. Nevertheless I found another area where I made my own trail uphill following narrow animal trails and cattle tracks. I heard and spotted a lone turkey up on the hillside and viewed a pair of Red-Tailed Hawks floating in the breeze. A variety of wildflowers were blooming including Miniature Lupine, Hairy Vetch, California Poppy (aka Golden Poppy, California Sunlight, Cup of Gold), California Buttercup, and Western Blue-Eyed Grass ( aka California Blue-Eyed Grass). Several old Valley Oaks doted the hillsides. Many standing alone in grassy meadows with wildflowers. A photo I took from the road shows the stark contrast between areas allowed to grow wild and those turned into grazing areas for cattle."
"Great hiking trails. Lots of steep rolling hills. Good amount of parking in the lot or on the side of the road. Can get very windy at the top. I'll make sure to bring or take my allergy medication. Great place to see flowers in the Spring. We saw many lizards, grasshoppers, and butterflies. Cows were out in the distance. Great views and resting spots."
