Start: 2025-11-23T09:30:00-08:00
End: 2025-11-23T16:30:00-08:00
Location: Sycamore Grove Park

We meet at Sycamore Grove Park ( 5$ entrance fee) . There are 2 entrances in this park:
We meet at Wetmore rd entrance: 1051 Wetmore Rd, Livermore, CA 94550
I never hiked in Sycamore Grove Park, so it will be curious to see how it looks. This park is adjacent to East Bay gem - Del Valle park where we'll hike near east shore.
Weather must be perfect for this hike, but some trails can be a little bit muddy.
Our route: Sycamore Grove: Magpie Natural Loop -> Creek tr -> Olivina tr -> Winery Loop tr ( Livermore does have many wineries... ) -> Wagon Rd tr -> Cattal Pond loop tr with visiting Catal Point Viewpoint -> Wagon Rd tr -> Valley View tr with visiting Valley View point-> Winery Loop tr ->
Del Valle: Arroy Del Valle Connector ( we'll have lunch in the beginning of this trail near scenic bridge) -> East Shore tr ( Visiting lake View point) -> returning using unnamed trail that goes to scenic cliffs - > Arroy Del Valle Connector-> back to Sycamore park: Dry creek trail -> Sycamore tr back to cars.
Our pace: 2.5 -2.8 per mile. Hike's length and elevation gain is based on AllTrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.0L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes ,rain gear, and lunch food.
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages or comments in case you have questions. I may help with carpool options.
