Trail Description:
The park is relatively small, but there are a lot of trails here to choose from. The park consists of two main loops with lots of interconnecting spur trails. One loop is on the North side and the other is on the South. The North loop is the level road that leads out from the same picnic area. From the road, turn left onto High Ridge Trail and follow it until you get to the Vista Peak loop. Turn right here and follow this trail all the way around the loop.

The South loop starts just on the other side of the picnic area with a good thousand foot climb. There are a lot more trail options in the South loop so you can easily make up a route perfect for your energy level. A lot of the trails are totally exposed to the sun and so it can get extremely hot in the summer. Get an early start of fry!

How to get there:
From HWY 880 take the Industrial Pkwy Exit in Hawyard and go East. At Mission, turn right and follow Mission until Garin Ave. Turn left onto Garin and follow it to the entrance to the park.
