Springtime is fabulous at Sunol Regional Wilderness in the Diablo Range in the East Bay northeast of San Jose and southeast of San Francisco. Wildflower season should take off in the next few weeks. For this trip I focused on the water features: Alameda Creek in the ambitiously titled Little Yosemite area of the park, and the W. Tree Rock Scramble, which offers an excellent introduction to scrambling, though I got fed up...
Aside from losing my cell phone somewhere along the way and spending over an hour picking 15 (so far) ticks out of Sheila's coat, this was an unexpectedly neat hike. The trail doesn't seem to be used too much as in some places the grass totally covered the trail. The hills were surprisingly green for this time of year and there were lots of different wild flowers to see. A pair of...
Sunol Regional Wilderness is a beautiful park, and Spring is the best time to explore it. It can be very muddy in winter, and scorching hot in the summer. I was looking for an interesting hike (more than 3miles, with some elevation) that we could do with kids (5 and 7). Looking at the map, it seemed that climbing up to Flag Hill would be fun.Emilie, Prahlad, Jen, and Collin met us...

Maguire Peaks is located at the northern corner of Sunol Regional Wilderness, a remote area with considerably lesser visitors than the main part of the park. Below the peak, a loop trail (3.1 miles long), Maguire Peaks Loop Trail, encircles the area. The scenery on the loop trail is beautiful, and the vistas from several vantage points are superb, especially views on San Antonio Reservoir are just amazing. There is no clear path to the summit....

Spring is a great time to enjoy the fun of playing water and boulder jumping at Little Yosemite, Sunol Regional Wilderness. The area is overflown with water and plenty of it. Plus, a cute lizard doing push-ups tried to warm people off its territory.This is a easy one-mile hike to get there from the parking lot at the end of Geary Road. Just follw the main road after the gate, hike about one mile, and find the trail on the right...
Our hiking group went on this great hike. Indian Joe Creek Trail is small creek in a pretty canyon that leads us up to views of the bay area, Suisun Bay and Calaveras Reservoir, which lies on the Calaveas Fault.
