Great hiking trails! Clean trails, dog friendly. 996 elevation gain to the top with beautiful views. The spring flowers are starting to pop up.

Great start for hiking Diablo Regional Park. No fee and small parking area. We'll kept with bathrooms and water.

Great trails with variety of hiking options and stunning views. It was covered with beautiful wildflowers, and the ridge was windy and cool although exposed to sun. Highly recommend it

Great trails to explore! Well maintained fire access lanes and smaller trails. Great loops for a 1-2 hour hikes. Good for hiking, running, biking.. You will also see the occasional person on a horse and cattle roaming the hills. Very picturesque open hills. Street parking in the neighborhood. No restrooms.

They're perfect for trail running. There's super technical sections but also easier trails. Just pick and choose! For mountain biking there are some very steep descents that personally I would avoid, unless you're a pro or want to break something 🙂

Not on the trails per se. You have to go off the beaten path for solitude. A lot of people walk their dogs here.

What's parking like? Nearby trails or not so much ?
