Best long-distance trail in the Bay Area - over 25 miles for the whole distance. Real sense of peace and quiet - often you won't see anyone out here. In spring you can enjoy flowers and waterfalls. In summer it will be very hot and don't forget to pack plenty of water. You can backpack and camp on Rose Peak, or go light and jump in Lake Del Valle at the end!
