The Lamorinda Trail – Las Trampas Creek bridge loop offers a comprehensive touring cycling experience, blending green hills with suburban landscapes across Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. You'll encounter the distinctive Horseshoe Bend on the Lafayette-Moraga Bike Trail and follow a historic railroad route through the picturesque Moraga Valley, providing a unique journey through the East Bay. The route is primarily paved, but be ready for some unpaved sections and three medium-sized hills that add to the challenge.
This difficult 48.6-mile (78.2 km) cycling loop, with its 2570 feet (783 metres) of elevation gain, is a substantial undertaking, typically requiring around 4 hours and 53 minutes to complete. Connecting from West Dublin/Pleasanton usually involves the Iron Horse Regional Trail. While much of the path is separated from traffic, some segments, like Moraga Way, require cyclists to share the road, so stay alert.
This route stands out for its ambition to connect distinct communities and trail systems, offering a glimpse into the region's past along the historic railroad corridor. It's an excellent option for experienced touring cyclists seeking a long, varied ride that combines natural beauty with urban edges. The continuous nature of the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail, a key component, links parks, schools, and Saint Mary's College, making it a central artery for local exploration.
