Tyler Ranch, Sunol Ridge, and Woodside Spring Trail

Hike Description: This route takes you up to Sunol Peak by way of the Tyler Ranch and Sunol Ridge Trails. This is a strenuous hike, as you are climbing uphill all the way to the highest point in the park. You will be rewarded with magnificent views of the valley and neighboring ridges as well as Mount Diablo, Brushy Peak, San Antonio Reservoir, Mission Peak, Vargas Plateau, and Niles Canyon. The return trip from the peak ventures into a shady woodland until meeting back up with the trails that descend along the exposed ridge and back down to the Tyler Ranch area.
