Iphakamisa ka-Joaquin Miller
3300 Joaquin Miller RdGreat for good or long hikes.
This is my favorite hiking trail that is not necessarily well known about other than by locals. Hard climb to the top gives you the most excellent views of the San Francisco Bay. Park at the end of Dwight way and just follow the trail straight up.
