Las Trampas to Mt Diablo Regional Trail — Attraction in Danville

This is an extension of the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Trail that emanates from the park off of Bollinger Canyon Road on the west side. This particular section runs from about Hap Magee Ranch Park through a few communities and to the Macedo Ranch Staging Area, and entrance point to Mt. Diablo State Park. I've taken the Hap Magee portion to about Stone Valley Road before and today did the leg that runs from Stone Valley Oaks towards Macedo Staging Area. It has a steep incline in the beginning, mostly clear of brush on the trail/path. As it hits a summit near Oakshire Place, the trail becomes considerably narrower and has lots of instances of ticks. It has some switchbacks that take you to an intersection with the Briones to Mt Diablo trail, and on a little further to the Macedo Staging area once you arrive there, there are no dogs allowed at Mt Diablo State Park or any of it's entrances, and, there's a resident ranger station there so you'll have to loop around the fence to exit onto Green Valley Rd if with a dog. If not, carry onwards to Mt. Diablo..I'll update this when I take that leg of the trail....

Trail was great but it wasn’t well kept. A lot of knee high weeds all around the pathway, don’t recommend this trail when weeds are all over grown. I ended up ubering back from the trail end point to my car as my kids didn’t want to go back...

Seldom traveled multi-use regional trail connecting neighboring communities, Las Trampas and Mt. Diablo Regional trails. Be careful, it often has lots of goat-head thorns and there were some bobcats spotted...
