Stream View, Redtail Hawk, and Grey Fox Loop

Park Features: Bishop Ranch is a serene parkland located on 806 acres in San Ramon. Watch for deer, red-tailed hawks, and turkey vultures while you enjoy lovely views of open skies and Mount Diablo to the northeast. Hiking, jogging, kite flying, dog walking, and picnicking are some of the activities to be enjoyed on this ridgetop refuge. Trail Highlights: The seasonal creek is active in the winter months and into spring, depending on rainfall. Enjoy the pleasant groves of oak trees sprawling throughout the park. Delight in views of the San Ramon, Dublin, and Pleasanton valleys, with Mount Diablo as the backdrop. There are no restroom facilities, so plan ahead. Trail Directions: Begin southwest on Grey Fox Trail. Walk .06 miles and take the first right onto Stream View Trail. The trail splits off around the bottom of the seasonal creek: keep to the path left/southwest of the creek (though either route will lead back to the same trail). There is a brief uphill section before the hiker-only section of the Stream View meets the wider multi-use section of Stream View. Take a right at that junction and continue along Stream View above and parallel to the creek. The last section of Stream View Trail heads steeply uphill, away from the creek, gaining an elevation of about 400 feet. Atop this small hill, *turn left onto Redtail Hawk Trail. Follow the trail for .18 miles, turning left onto Grey Fox Trail to finish the loop. This final stretch of the hike will take you back to the start and grace you with sweeping views of Mount Diablo to the northeast. *If you would like to extend your hike, turn right onto Redtail Hawk Trail. This is an out-and-back hike which adds 1.48 miles total to your hike. Park Curfew/Hours: 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
