About this place

Added by Outbound

Enjoy beautiful views of Walnut Creek along the hike. This is not an overly strenuous trail, but it makes for a good, quick escape from the city.

Walnut Creek Park has a TON of little side trails that make this a must do if you are in or near the area. This particular trail (1 of 2 major ones) is a 15 mile loop but can be done as a shorter out and back. Once you park in the parking lot head southwest to find the trailhead and you're good to go. Dogs on leash are welcomed too, so bring along your lil' buddy.
