About This Trail

Imported description

The hike above the Carquinez Strait was enjoyable. This hike begins at the upper end of the parking lot and ends at the picnic area adjacent to the abandoned maintenance shed. The Bull Valley Trail is on the cliff side. There's a sign at the bottom of the hill that you can see when you descend into a grove of eucalyptus. Take a break, relax and go back to Bull Valley.
