Nice hike with beautiful views. There are three trails which are all under 4 miles. Good place for walking and hiking. Limited shade prepare accordingly on a sunny summer day.
Very limited parking at the trail entrances. There is street parking available and expect crowd on a weekend. I would recommend going early.
I love hiking here where volcanoes once spewed! There is an visitor center next to the parking lot that has some interesting facts about the history of the volcanic activity. There are samples of different kinds of rocks that were formed by the volcano that you can actually touch. Besides hiking, you can also ride bikes on the wider trails.
The hours are 7 AM-10 PM. This park is across the bay from San Francisco and east of Oakland in the hills. The park is 928 acres.
If I want a quiet walk, I like going around sunrise or sunset--when it is the most quiet. If you want to camp there, look online. You can bring your pooch, but they need to be on leash.
I love taking pictures at Sibley!!!
Nice regional park on top of the Oakland Hills. It’s a great place for a nice short hike. There a few labyrinths in the park that you can explore. Most of the trails are fairly easy and can be hiked be most people.
Absolutely stunning extinct volcano. The trail we took was the sightseeing loop. There were a few spots where you had to watch your footing, but overall not too difficult. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water; the increased elevation means that sun is intense!
The park is very large and I’m excited to explore more of it.
Gorgeous wilderness area with hills and vistas and various trails to explore. Mostly wide, dirt-packed trails across open hills that makes for easy going. Exposed (no tree cover), so it can be hot on sunny days, but that also means it’s usually not overly muddy even when there’s been a lot of rain. Dogs are allowed off leash on most trails as long as the cows aren’t out grazing.
