Las Trampas Wilderness - Vail Peak Loop
Las Trampas Regional Wilderness, 18012 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA, USThis trail requires a heavy investment in up, but the returns are many.
This medium to difficult 3.8 mile loop has an elevation gain of 1,365 ft. Not for the faint of heart! But the payoff includes lots of excellent green views including Mount Diablo and the surrounding hills. Here is a map for your reference.Dogs are allowed but they must be kept on a leash and under voice control.
The trailhead is "Rocky Ridge Rd" at the north end of Bolinger Canyon Road taken from San Ramon (search for Las Trampas Wilderness Regional Preserve). We will depart from there at 9:00 am.
As always, you can meet me for carpooling from the Walnut Creek Friends Church back parking lot (1950 First Ave, Walnut Creek). I will leave from there at 8:20 am. Please confirm in the app to coordinate timing.
Be sure to bring layers, sturdy boots/shoes, trekking poles, water to drink, a snack to eat, and as usual, an attitude for making friends.
See you soon!
