The Crockett Hills Bay Area Ridge Trail Loop delivers a fantastic mountain biking experience, winding through rolling grasslands and eucalyptus-shaded meadows. From higher elevations and ridgetop trails like Soaring Eagle, you'll be rewarded with expansive views of San Pablo Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and distant peaks like Mount Tamalpais and Mount Diablo. The route features a mix of legitimate singletrack and fire roads, with purpose-built flow trails like Sugar City and Tree Frog adding an extra layer of fun with their rollers and berms.
This moderate 15.4-mile (24.8 km) loop involves about 1755 feet (535 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 2 hours and 29 minutes to complete. While some climbs can be steep, the overall experience is highly rewarding. The park is best enjoyed in spring when the hills are green and the views are crisp, though it can be hot in summer. Parking is generally available, and no special permits are needed for your ride.
What truly sets Crockett Hills apart for mountain bikers are its five miles of purpose-built flow trails, a pioneering effort for East Bay Regional Parks when they were constructed in 2014-2015. This makes it a unique destination for riders seeking dedicated mountain biking terrain. The park's design caters specifically to mountain biking, ensuring an engaging and exciting ride that's distinct from many other Bay Area trails.
