Description

Added by Isaac Orloff

Local multi-use single track open to mountain bikes in the Oakland hills. Great for new riders and locals looking to ride before and after work.

Joaquin Miller park is home to a great network of single track perfect for riders of all skill levels. The trails are multi-use so it is important to be mindful of hikers, dog walkers and other cyclists. Two of the most technical trails in the park are Cinderella and Chaparral trails. It is best to avoid climbing up these hills seeing as they are the most popular descents. New riders would enjoy a cruise along Sequoia Bayview or Big Trees trails. Highly recommended as a sunset ride because the outside ridge faces the setting sun. Trail distance and elevation vary by route. Trail Map located here:http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oak...

Stonewall Panoramic Trail

From the trailhead at Stonewall Road, the 1.5-mile trail makes for an excellent before or after-work run. But the steep hills and loose ground aren’t for those looking to find an easy nature walk. The incline starts well before the Stonewall-Panoramic trailhead, so you won’t even have time to warm up before your fight against gravity begins. With a little perseverance you’ll gain about 700 fe...

Grizzly Peak

A well-known sunset spot in the East Bay, and rightfully so - the views from Grizzly Peak are stunning. You have several pull-offs to pick from. The larger ones have logs to sit upon. The smaller pull-offs offer benches and sturdy rocks. Take your pick! You will share the sunset with some strangers but if you are one for solitude, check out the Northern pull-offs. They are smaller and therefor...
